[Lowfer] Saturday Morning Water Hole

[Andy - KU4XR]

Craig:

The capture from Dick shows you to be possibly around 185,297.7 
which isn't a bad frequency. Most reception is done with QRSS-30 
slow which is pretty much eqiuvalent to QRSS-60 normal, but has 
the advantage of a wider frequency window of 6.7 Hz ... If the
watering hole was centered; the readout would be from 185,296.65
to 185,303.35 KHz. So you will easily be seen in there.

Also; my beacon :: " XR " ; is on 185,298.75 KHz , and you may
be right on top of me, or so close that it wil be difficult to
distinguish between the 2 beacon signals at times.

73, and good luck with the beacon.
