WE2XGR/2 will be WOLF mode from ~ 0000 - 0300Z on 506.5 kHz. The WOLF GUI software can be found at 
http://www.qsl.net/dl4yhf/wolf/ .

Now that everyone has fresh 8000 Hz cal info (thanks to John) that information can be entered in the 
'WOLF Config' tab. Although WOLF will decode with some sampling rate discrepancy (slewing) when 
signals are strong, it really needs to be spot on to get the full benefit of the decoder under 
extremely weak and noisy conditions. If you have the sampling rate set and the receiver is 
reasonably stable expect to see very consistent numbers in the  'jm' column once the decoder has 
'locked on'. Frequency cal information for your system is available in the 'pm' column. Accuracy of 
the WE2XGR/2 transmission should be within .01 Hz of the announced frequency.

Don't be put off if conditions appear noisy ... the power of WOLF has amazed many folks!

Reports appreciated.
