Running captures this afternoon. Here is what I measured for signal levels at
noon. I spent some time rolling the crosshairs around the code elements to find
the maximum signal level rather than an average.

WA high power      -30.2 dB

WA low power      - 48.7 dB

TAG                      - 41.9 dB

NC                        - 46.0 dB

I was worried about agc action in Argo having an effect. Based on WA
measurements at his two power levels that may not be a concern. I will have
captures for you tonight.
