Hi Garry: Hope you're having a good day ?? The reason I am sending
the " S " is because my keyer will only go to QRSS-60, so an " O "
at QRSS-60 will be an " S " at QRSS-180 speed. Plus for the nostalgia
of it; as Todd mentioned to me; " S " is the letter that Marconi sent
across the ocean in his history making transmission. 
Todd has his receiver running all day today to see if the traces of 
my signal are there throughout the entire day at 308 miles distance.
Trying to establish the fact that it is really groundwave that he
was seeing the other day around 4:30 in the afternoon. He should be
posting his findings later this evening, and I am looking forward
to seeing what he found.

ARGO at QRSS-120 slow scroll rate shows the 3 minute dits very small
so that should work out fine. Plus; it's surprising what SPECTRAN
can do. Even though it only shows a pre-set QRSS-30 mode, it does 
have a speed control that will slow the scroll rate down to where an 
entire screen can take 3 hours, and the screen definition is good to.
Fully adjustable for any resolution you desire.
Spectrum Laboratory ?? It would be hard to beat it with a big stick !!


73, and good DX-ing to you:
