[Lowfer] Opera on 74

[Douglas D. Williams]

Not much to figure out, Pat. Opera is one of those types of programs that
tries to do everything for the user. There is very little that the end user
can change, because the software assumes it is smarter than the user.

I've pretty much given up on it. In my experience, it is about equal to
WSPR-2 in terms of weak signal detection. Note that I am not talking about
Opera Deep Search (OPDS), but rather the generic Opera software. OPDS is a
whole other kettle of fish, but that is neither here nor there.

I have decoded DK7FC many times using WSPR-15, and even decoded him with
WSPR-2. I have yet to decode DK7FC using the Opera software, and I have
tried several nights this season.

All this is just my opinion, of course.
