Bob, it appears WSPR-15 is pretty forgiving of start time errors when the
signal is sufficiently in the clear, and yours certainly was before dark.
(I'll be returning out there momentarily to see what has happened since
then.) I finally found my arithmetic error, but by the time I did it was
three and a half minutes into the 2200Z slot...and still got a good decode
anyway. Two slots later, it looks as if you got a few seconds late start
after shifting the frequency back up one hertz, and still got a decode with
SNR showing in the minus-single-digit range. Signal and ambient noise was
again just under AGC threshold, but with almost no static crashes today at
all prior to sunset! Normal Morse would have worked fine over our path this
afternoon. More when I next return from the field...
