[Lowfer] WSPR2 T/C

JB & All: About a dozen or so decodes here, perhaps the "spotlight 
propagation" was in my backyard.  I was receiving on the NE transformer of 
my EWE antenna
for the first two decodes in the 0500UTC hour, then switched to the SW 
transformer direction as the WNW heading is not quite as far down the 
antenna's cardio pattern due to how the antenna is physically setup (i.e 
sliughtly bent at mid point vs a straight wire).  Somewhat surprised at the 
number of XSH/20 decodes as I was using the 16bit internal soundcard in my 
older Acer netbook. If I had used the newer dual-core Acer with the USB 
Xonar 24bit soundcard it may have doubled the number of decodes with a few 
extra dB margin it provides given past experience....

Gives me an excuse to pull the new transformers this afternoon and measure 
their back to back insertion loss at 475 kHz and other frequencies of 
interest.
