[Lowfer] 16.4 kHz

[Douglas D. Williams]

Ah, thanks, Todd.

This morning, I heard and saw the 16.4 kHz transmission on my Winradio SDR
waterfall display. Curious, I switched to feeding the signal (same antenna)
into my sound card and looked at it with Spectrum Lab, but was unable to
detect the signal using that method.

Today, I reconnected my R75 + AMRAD converter, so now I have two LF
receivers (same antenna), but am only able to compare them with a simple
A/B switch. As soon as the KIWA people get back from vacation Monday, I'm
going to order one of their VLF/LF splitter/combiners so I can compare the
two setups simultaneously.

One thing I miss with the SDR......the BIG KNOB. Nothing like twirling a
big weighted knob when beacon hunting.  ;-)
