Conditions may be favorable, but our ability to predict this path has been a
little iffy. Shouldn't be subtle though, if things are decent. Be prepared
to look a few hundredths of a Hz either side of 72.401 -- Laurie's rig moves
a little as it warms up (and I do mean warm). And be sure that your receiver
is pretty close to frequency -- the window on the 120 second screen is only
1.5 Hz, if memory serves. If you check 100 kHz in CW mode, you should see a
line right on 800 Hz (or whatever your R75's BFO offset is set for). You can
check HBG (Switzerland) on 75.000 kHz as an alternative. It could be 30 dB
or better out of the noise.
