[Lowfer] Navtex 490

[n8tl]

GM Garry:

Yep....disappointing to say the least.  518 yields are better, but, with 
G up to its antics....oh well, it is
what it is!

ps: I made some progress this AM...I was able to build WSPRX V0.9 r 4178 
on Linux Mint 17.  It seems to
be working okay.  Maybe now I can copy Stefan on WSPR15.  I'll give it a 
try.
