[Lowfer] WD2XNS pre-test test

[jrusgrove at comcast.net]

JA

This is the 'pre-test test' to make sure everything works as expected ... tomorrow we'll run 
appropriate power for some nice screen shots. Think Dex's 'side by side' would be the way to do the 
presentation. With QRSS set to display a number of 'cycles' we could reduce power in steps to show 
the comparison. Setting up the time ticks in QRSS so it could be directly compared to the WSPR 
screen would be the way to go ... maybe 5 minute ticks would be sufficient rather than the large 
number Dex is running.

I picked QRSS30 because of the 14 minute length for sending XNS.

Thoughts?

JR
