Todd, thanks for the pointer to the nice online receiver for SAQ. Lots
of lightning around tonight, snow on the ground, and freezing rain on
the antennas. I could identify SAQ when it was key-down for awhile
during the tuneup period and wandering around in frequency, but it
wasn't strong enough to copy the CW. The grabber showed HWU 20 dB or so
stronger than SAQ. Here I could just barely see HWU on the SpectraVue3
waterfall, though NWC was strong. I used an e-probe + SDR-IQ for
reception because it has less 60 Hz racket than my loop + converter +
IC706. It will be interesting to see how the signal fares one of these
times when conditions are quiet.
