[Lowfer] Activity in the Northwest of USA (Southwest of Canada)?

[Stan, W1LE]

Hello Jay,

Welcome back.

For the PC:
take a look at ARGO found at    www.weaksignals.com
Spectrum Laboratory is also a powerful tool, do a google search for the 
download site.
Most of my collection is unattended, overnight, with a review in the 
morning, on the PC.

There are always non directional beacons, NDB, to listen for.

You may have to work on infrastructure first. While some of the software 
processing gains are tremendous,
you have got to be accurate and stable with frequency, like better than 
1 Hz.

What is your most accurate signal source for testing ?
Do you have a GPS disciplined reference oscillator ?

Not knowing your equipment set up, Ebay could be your friend.
HP-3336A/B/C as a synthesized signal source, can use a 10 MHz external 
reference.
HP-3586B/C as a basic HF receiver, can alos use an exrernal reference.
Trimble Thunderbolt GPS/DO as a 10 MHz reference.

What equipment are you using ?
