[Lowfer] " XR " still keying away this morning

[Douglas D. Williams]

Andy,

Excellent daytime copy here. 700Hz on this screen equals 185.298 kHz. Looks
like you are about half a Hz high, by my readout. Note that I make no claims
as to the accuracy of my frequency readout, especially down to half a Hz.
