>Ill trade a dB or so between dot 60 and 120 for fades!

It gets to be a tough call, deciding whether to go for maximum sensitivity
or to try to stay within the crests of the fade cycle. Since I was seeing
individual letters earlier last night with Argo in 60-second dot mode, you
will probably come through OK at that speed.

I'll be doing more monitoring tonight, except during the local LowFER
straight key night session at about 0300Z.

Regarding the watering hole captures -- maybe somebody I'll learn how to do
javascript, or find some other way to set up a slideshow using JPEG rather
than GIF files. I think that would allow much more readable screen captures
within the same file size limits.
