[Lowfer] DK7FC 136.172 kHz 2nd capture (rest of evening captures)

[Michael Sapp]

Thanks Garry:

> didn't find even a hint of signal.

Not to worry, most likely it was the  in-my-back-yard (IMBY) favorable iono 
bounce effect....


I went to sleep early last nite,,,,here's the rest of the evening's 
captures.  Stefan's grabber was showing traces

from other stations around 136.175 and just above 136.1715. I "might have" 
captured an occasional dash from the

station that was just below him.  I did have the visual gain set high 
looking for weaker stations....

Capture 00141 looks like DK7FC traces were in the high to mid -50s at 
times...peak background noise -69 to -72 range

24 bit resolution sure does help.....73 Mike wa3tts
