Mitch, equipment as follows:

Steve Ratzlaff E-field antenna with a 36 inch whip, mounted 12 feet 
above the ground,

Flexradio SDR-1000 with IF bandwidth set to 10 Hz,

Argo running at 60s dits,

Two low pass filters to keep the AM broadcast junk out, a high pass 
filter to keep WWVB from popping up everywhere (I am in Colorado).

73,
Jerry, KD0GS
Longmont, CO DM70ke
