[Lowfer] 136 kHz Rulemaking and Daytime Tests?

[JD]

Wow, I really wish I had Internet access in the field!  Sorry to keep folks 
waiting for the first day's fantastic results, but I wanted to stay out 
there as long as I could.  There will be more pictures later this evening, 
but for now, the results boil down to this:

Halfway across the continent...daytime...with QRSS3.  Yes, 3!

Dex threw me a curve.  He e-mailed me directly to tell me his planned 
operating mode, but I was already gone before the message arrived.  It took 
me a little while to figure out what I was seeing, but it was a surprise and 
delight when I did.

See if you can figure out solely from this picture the particular 
combination of modes he was sending.  Argo is in QRSS30 mode.  The left side 
is smeared because I was checking things out at Normal speed for about four 
minutes, then switched back to Slow.  Everything else you need in order to 
figure out what Dex was doing is in the picture itself, and staring at it 
long enough was how I figured it out, and then set up the capture I'll post 
next.

MP was booming in too, as usual, just 1 or 2 dB lower than XKO.  And XGJ was 
there, also, albeit considerably lower in level than MP.  More on that in 
the final capture of the evening.
