Hi Doug:  It's great to hear from you.. Man !! That's a great signal. You're using a different receiving
antenna now aren't you ?? There's no doubt what-so-ever that the signal is clearly audible there..
If you have any time this Sat. I could put the beacon in CW mode and see how you hear it as
compared to the first CW reception you got from me... 
Thanks for the screen shot; 73, and GOD Bless: Andy - KU4XR

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.
