Weather permitting, I will be taking down the "Legal Loop" antenna this
weekend, and experimenting with something else. Just to see if the "LL" can
be heard outside of MA/CT, I have slowed things down a bit, and changed the
ID.

Frequency: 185.302 kHz
ID: "LL"
Format: DFCW, 240 sec dots/dashes.
Frequency shift: 0.1 Hz. Dash characters are 0.1 Hz higher than the dots.
Recommended Argo screen: 120 sec.

The frequency on the transmitter was checked tonight, and was within 0.01
Hz, so one end is OK. If you are pretty sure about your receiver's
calibration, give it a shot!  Last few days!

Don't know what DFCW looks like? Check out:

That's the TAG beacon as received in CT.
