[Lowfer] 185.3 KHz Report from Cape Cod

[Stan, W1LE]

Hello The Net:

Got reorganized to copy TAG on 185.297 KHz and an unknown at 185.304.7 KHz

Antenna: 2 orthogonal delta loops top terminated in 600 ohms and bottom 
fed to a trafo
and a ARR preamplifier, battery powered. Delta loops are about 40' high 
and 70' wide.
RG 59 to the shack.

Receiver: now a ICOM IC703+, later a IC-706MK2

Computer: new PC with INTEL ATOM motherboard, DN2800mt, 30 Gbyte ssd 
mSATA, WIN7 Pro
and the newer ARGO. Currently using the motherboard sound with only a 2 
channel MIC (level) input.
What is neat about this new computer is can run on a single +12VDC power 
supply and only draws 7 watts of power.
The ATOM is 1.86 GHz rated and I can run 3 instances of Lady Heather 
with the Trimble Thunderbolt GPS/DOs
and 2 each instances of ARGO for about 90% CPU activity/utilization.
I have a ESI JULI XTE PCIe soundcard due in shortly for 4 inputs/outputs 
at 24 bit sampling  to 192 KHz.
Then I will probably run 2 receivers to simultaneously cover 185.3 KHz 
and 137 KHz.
A AUSTRON model 2084 Multifilter (RF multicoupler) will be used for the 
RF distribution for up to 4 RXs.

Calibration: GPS/DO 10 MHz reference to the HP3336B to calibrate the 
soundcard and the RX, RF thru to audio.
The IC703+ uses a +800 Hz BFO offset in CW reverse.
