Bob's signal disappeared around 0550Z from my ARGO display but have 
several opds2h detections of /1 and also one of Dex's /4 signal with the 
eprobe:

2014-03-14 06:04:18 WH1XBA 934km 29498.998Hz 3mHz -45.7dBOp  83% 20.2dB
2014-03-14 05:11:35 WH4XBA 1022km 29500.999Hz 1mHz -49.0dBOp  86% 17.3dB
2014-03-14 03:53:04 WH1XBA 934km 29498.999Hz  1mHz -46.0dBOp  92% 19.2dB
2014-03-14 01:41:49 WH1XBA 934km 29498.998Hz 3mHz -45.9dBOp  78% 18.1dB

Results so far with the loop are:

2014-03-14 06:04:20 WH1XBA 934km 29499.000Hz 1mHz -42.5dBOp  96% 20.4dB
2014-03-14 03:53:04 WH1XBA 934km 29499.000Hz 1mHz -47.3dBOp  89% 17.5dB
2014-03-14 01:41:48 WH1XBA 934km 29499.000Hz 0mHz -43.9dBOp  82% 20.4dB

Have regular opera running at rate 2h with the eprobe and it decoded 
Bob's signal at 0141 and 0604Z but for some reason didn't connect at 
0353Z. Perhaps the false at 0310Z confused it. Nor did it decode /4 even 
though the spectrum waterfall sure makes it look strong enough. The 
noise floor here is very non-flat and that probably hurts. Can't do any 
better unless we get a portable setup going and find a decently quiet 
spot to listen.
