[Lowfer] SAQ Copy in SC Sunday July 4 2010

[ToddRoberts2001 at aol.com]

Hi All,
I was able to get some reception of  SAQ Sunday morning from start
of transmission around 1130 UTC until end about  1210 UTC.

I would say RST hovered around 249-349 with fairly good copy by  ear.

I was able to take a few screenshots with the ARGO viewer. You can  copy and
paste to the addresses given :

1st Screenshot showing tuneup  drift of the old alternator during start
of transmission. Taken at QRSS3  speed. You can see the frequency
was closer to 17.020KHz and varied a bit  during tuneup  :

2nd  screenshot showing a string of V's taken in NDB mode  :

3rd  screenshot showing the letters SAQ taken in NDB mode  :

I  would say copy by ear was about as good as copy on the ARGO screen in 
NDB  mode. A little rough not solid copy. Maybe we can get SAQ to transmit 
a few  minutes for us in
QRSS3 mode. The standard viewer would handle the drift and  copy would
probably stand out in QRSS3 speed on the viewer. I will ask  them!
