[DSP-10] QRPpp EME2 detection!

[Bob Larkin]

Hi Courtney,

I'm running a bit behind, but congratulations !  Your approach is sound and 
exactly the kind of thing that was hoped for the radio.  Your system noise 
temperature may be a bit higher than you think, and so the signals may be a 
few dB stronger.  Still, signals in the -18x range are fascinating and a 
fun aspect of weak signal work.  I am anxious to see the details.

BTW, you inspired me to improve the documentation on all the DAT files, and 
that is in the works. You managed to use it with the available 
documentation, but it could be better!!

Keep up the fine effort in exploring the world way below what one can hear!!
