[Lowfer] PBO - On the air

[Andy - KU4XR]

Well not as much sucess here, only a trace of the signal across the display, but can'y make out any
characters.. At first I thought it was just a " roving " phantom signal until I saw Dougs captures where 
the " Tilde-ing " of the signal was occurring, then I was fairly certain I was seeing " PBO " ..It's not that
I can't receive Ricks signal; the problem is the Horrible " roaming  " carrier that is 40 dB above the
band noise, and at its farthest distance is only 20 Hz above " PBO " , and as you can see in the capture,
it does at times fall into the passband, right on top of " PBO " making it impossible to receieve...
I was seeing the signal trace quite often thru the night, but just couldn't get enough signal to overcome
the roaming carrier QRN... The carrier is so strong that it raises the S-meter, and causes the AGC
to lower the RF gain... But at least here is a picture:

Well Doug; Id say your new setup is working very well! 493 miles ! Im happy 
with that. Thanks for looking and for the screenshots.

I do subscribe to the sub 9khz reflector. I have been following their 
experiments; real interesting stuff. Trans-Atlantic ; thats incredible.

  Thanks again Doug !
