[Lowfer] QRSS STACKING SOFTWARE

My mistake.  I got it now.  Pretty cool software.

Now we just need to automate the detection of the interval and drift.
Something like how cameras do auto-focus should be able to automatically
adjust the timing and vertical drift to find the "sharpest" image.

Doing this manually will be very difficult - especially if you just get bits
and pieces of a signal you want to identify.  You could manually step
through all the intervals looking for a match but that's pretty tedious.

I suppose everyone could get their beacons to try to get on a fixed interval
like 10 minutes, but some IDs are short, some are long.  Having everyone on
a different interval would mean that if two signals were on top of each
other you could pull them apart, so we might want to encourage everyone to
use a different interval.

Maybe when people post their beacon ID and freq they should also post the
repeat interval.

I'd love to set something like "setiathome" loose on this task.  I bet it
would find a lot of nearly invisible signals.
