[Lowfer] 2 Grabber questions

Hi Andy,

I have no first-hand knowledge of Dropbox;  if it's just a 
chunk'o'memory-in-the-sky to hold your images etc. then this likely 
won't work:  If you have a for-real webpage pointing to the images, then 
inserting

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="60; url=argolive.html">

into the <HEAD> will cause a refresh of that page on the viewer's 'puter 
every 60 seconds.  Obviously, replace 'argolive.html' with whatever your 
file is called.

As for Speclab it should be easily possible to run two instances of it 
on any decent machine nowadays.  I don't know how you're getting the 
images out to the remote site, maybe Wolf has got that handily built 
into Speclab nowadays.  It was the necessity of using an external 
screen-scraper ('SnagIt', which only permits one instance to run) that 
drove me to using separate 'puters for each Grabulator image.

Additionally, I never had much luck with using just the one receiver on 
SSB bandwidth to get the low and high band segments simultaneously with 
the same sensitivity as just one using a CW bandwidth;  noise tended to 
bang the AGC around with the higher bandwidth.  So, two receivers as well...

Others may have had more luck.

         Cheers,

                 Steve        W3EEE
