[Lowfer] WE2XGR/2 mid day groundwave mode competition

[jrusgrove at comcast.net]

The schedule for todays test is as follows:

1600 - 1624Z WOLF (continuous run)
1630 - 1656Z OP8 (3 sequences, 1 minute spacing)
1700 - 1724Z WOLF (continuous run)
1730 - 1756Z OP8 (3 sequences, 1 minute spacing)

Notes:

The actual OP8 transmission will be on 506.550 kHz not 506.5 kHz reported earlier. This will put the 
carrier in the center of the software receive 'window'. Receivers should still be set to 505.000 kHz 
USB for OP8.

There's some switch over of equipment between the two modes so times may slip slightly ... or not.

Going to start at early at 1500Z at somewhat reduced power to make sure there are no problems with 
the setup. Will follow the same sequence as subsequent hours.
