Thanks to everyone for the reminders on how to get going again.

What I did for this first attempt was tune receiver to 137000 Hz USB
and started Argo with no offset entered.

Caught MP first off:  http://kd5uwl.freeshell.org/mp/0008.jpg

Mitch, what's your exact frequency?  Looks like I was only one or two Hz off!

Equipment:

 - stock R-75 (without the CR-282 high stability option)
 - G0MRF preamp
 - homemade G5RV up an embarrassing 20 feet (yes, about 10' of the
ladder line section is draped across a completely dead and dried out
bush)
 - 10+ year old PC
 - Fedora Linux (FC-18 beta)
 - wine (windows emulator) running Argo

Will work on sensitivity and calibration and try again tonight.
