[Lowfer] "XR" SMT-HELL tonite

[Andy - KU4XR]

Hi Garry, and lowFERs:

Well !! First; thank you for looking.. I figured that the QRN would
be too high for anyone to even try overnight, and so it was a very
pleasant surprise to see a capture from you; and even more of a
surprise at how well the SMT-HELL signal looked at your QTH...
The " DOTs " that make up the characters are well pronounced..
I slowed the symbols/second rate from .05 down to .025 sym/sec..
This appears to be about as slow as I can go with the present
frequency stability.. Any slower, and the on/off times get too long,
and the drift becomes even more evident..
This mode has surprised me.. I never thought it would do as well
as it has at a distance.. WSPR has done well; but SMT-HELL at the
transmission rate I'm using, ( to me ) looks to get better results..

Thanks again for the capture; 73 to you, and all:
