[Lowfer] WD2XES JT2 Tonight

[John Andrews]

Stan,

The FCC shares its data on the experimental stations with Mr. Claus 
himself, so I don't expect any snags here.

I tried a 10 and 20 dB drop last night, but you're right -- finer steps 
would be more useful. The trouble is that with the huge swings from 
fading at night, some of this will be masked. Might be a better test for 
the daytime, possibly next weekend.

Hartmut has screen shots and .wav files on his web site:

Joe Taylor appears to be quite happy with the results, and spent the 
evening last night looking at the two signals.

The setup here is a homebrew SSB exciter with 100 mw output into the big 
Hafler amplifier. The exciter is the phasing-type, with a DDS carrier 
generator. A microprocessor with keypad and 2-line display runs the DDS. 
I'll have a little info on the setup on my website this week.
