Hi Les,
  Thanks for your email.  Yes, probably not much hope until I switch to QRSS. 
 I hope my crystal oscillator will be stable enough for the very narrow 
bandwidths of QRSS.  Does the software have a way of compensating for a small 
amount of drift?
I'll look forward to your beacon.  Also, I should have a LOWfer beacon on 
soon.

<< Doug,
 
 I certainly will listen for "AH" on 1694.75, though I
 don't hold out much hope until you make the switch
 to QRSS.
 
 The Medfer band was quite popular until the expanded
 band stations began to sign on a few years ago. But I'm
 of the opinion that QRSS techniques may make it
 possible for us to achieve long distance receptions
 again on this band.
 
 At the moment, 1690khz has only two broadcast
 stations, and both have very poor signal levels compared
 to others on the expanded band. I'd love to see
 more Medfers try this frequency range during the
 coming season.
 
 Hope to have my own beacon on sometime soon too.
 
 73,
