Ray, tnx much for the site information.
   To hear the sound of the 16 channel tones again was a pleasant 
experience. It's been 32+ years since I tuned in these signals with a 
pair of 390's, the pack was on USB and the LSB was a voice channel. We 
used the link between NSS and NWP (NAVCOMMSTA Argentia, NFLD in the late 
60's. Once you got a little experience of "second guessing" freqs, given 
the fact that one was at a fixed distance, quickly learned the quirks of 
propagation at that distance. you could pretty much be sure of at least 
a watch worth (8 hrs) of good signal. We were running rhombics pointed 
directly where we needed them, and sufficiently apart to give good 
diversity.  Since we could get transmitters up both ways on a third freq 
without problems, we used to bring up what we figured we'd need early, 
and wait for the propagation to shift. That way was almost like running 
3 freq diversity, as we had one good, one fading, and one coming up at 
 daylight and evening.
