[Lowfer] WSPR decodes so far

[John Andrews]

Bill,

Agree, they look about the same. That's good news, as I was suspecting 
that the reporting systems were different, based on the XRR signals.

Supposedly, WSPR-2 bottoms out in the -33 dB SNR range, and WSPR-15 
around -40 dB. So, there certainly should be an advantage to WSPR-15 
with weak signals.

I'm guessing that we didn't have enough distant observers in this 
weekend's WSPR-15 trials. Another possibility is that "noise" and 
"Gawd-awful screaming switcher crud" are two different things. That 
would limit the weak-signal possibilities at LF.
