[Lowfer] XRS/4 visible in DN40 (7-land)

[Clint Turner]

The signal from XRS/4 continued to build and I now have a nice, fairly 
clean ID - see attached.  The signal at 1320 is my own local reference 
so that I can keep an eye on drift.  The "dip" was from the SDR's AGC 
keying on a bit of QRM (probably from a neighbor's TV) that I had to 
dodge with the passband tuning.

It would seem that first hints of 'XRS/4 appeared at around sun down and 
that by the time it got to be too dark to read a book outside, it had 
built to pretty much the signal level that I'm seeing now.

I don't see any other signals in the general vicinity.

73,

RX:  SDR-14 using an L-400B E-field whip mounted about 5 feet above a 
metal roof to which it is grounded.
