[Lowfer] WG2XNI 186.000 khz MT/Hell

[Mark]

Hi John,

Thanks for the capture of XNI.

That actually looks pretty decent to me, although it looks like it wasn't 
coming in very strong.  The "X"  looks like that even when I monitor my 
signal locally.  The Slow Hell in the ultimate QRSS kit is only 7 "rows" 
high, so with a 1hz shift the elements are pretty crowded.  It might look 
better with a larger shift.

Thanks again and 73 !,

Mark
