David,

Welcome to the list!  We're all happy to answer any questions, listen for
weak signals, or whatever. Are you planning to set up a CW beacon, or
something more long-haul? Have you done any listening down in the 160-190
range, yet?

Some good links for background information:

Longwave Club of America site:

Lyle Kohler's site:

Les Rayburn's site (not fresh, but with plenty of introductory info):

Alberto DiBene's site for slow-speed CW receiving software:

Note that this stuff is most useful with stable receivers. Boat-anchors can
drift too much for the slowest speeds.
