Hey everyone:

After the recent discoveries of my mistakes on the transverter; it is
performing much better. the frequency stability is much better now.
When I went to bed last night the frequency in the WSPR waterfall was 
at 501. When I got up this morning, it was at 497, and all the decodes
that filled the waterfall window were on 497, so now On to improving 
the drift factor so I can run the slow modes. I have tried DFCW-120,
but the signal looks like " bird wings " on the waterfall due to the
drift which is mainly in the transverter itself. Temperature drift is
the main problem, and some of that is in the board layout I did. So a
few changes to the layout are needed. I suppose you learn as you go.

73 to all:::
