Bill,

Yes, QRSS30 is fine. Your thoughts about code length vs. number of captures 
might
be valid. I often run all my sessions for QRSS60 in QRSS30 modes for that very
reason.

I'll be happy to run captures for your beacon tonight. I will likely switch 
over to
look for BRO again at 6:00AM CST, when I awake.

Hoping to add Alabama to your list of receptions tonight!

73,

Les Rayburn, N1LF
