[Lowfer] WD2XNS in WOLF mode

[Douglas D. Williams]

WOLF VS WSPR-15 in a direct weak signal receive test would certainly be
interesting. Not knowing much of anything about WOLF, it is quite obvious
to me that WSPR-15 is easier to get set up and running. All one needs is a
decent stability receiver, and an internet connection to set the computer
clock with a time standard. Actually, an internet connection isn't even
required if you have a $15 Wal-Mart "atomic clock" with a seconds display.

For successful WOLF operation, it seems the computer sound card needs to be
calibrated with a known frequency source.

So, if I understand correctly, WSPR's weak signal detection ability depends
very much on both the transmitting station and the receiving station having
a highly accurate timebase. This is easily achieved these days.

WOLF's weak signal detection ability is dependant on.....I know not what,
but I'm guessing extreme frequency accuracy/stability, like QRSS, only more.
