Haven't looked at the watering hole (185.3 kHz) for some time so 
overnight tuned there using a loop antenna aimed East. Found SJ 
generally in there, but with QSB and frequency wobble and a bit of drift 
(as sunrise neared the wobble stopped). Copy of TAG was poor - couldn't 
do much more than ID it. That was disappointing because the DGPS station 
on 288 kHz in NL was quite potent, leading to expectation of a signal 
strength boost for the lowfers. The attached capture was made using a 
new HP3500 Windows 7 PC. Haven't calibrated the sound card yet so 
frequencies are only approximate.
