My apologies for being .2 Hz low...

Looked for SIW in QRSS30 with gain/contrast 40/40 but now show. So I went to 
QRSS60 and gain/contrast 50/50 and the signal was there, perhaps 2 or 3 dB 
above the -76 ~ -77 peak background noise...

Weaker than normal level from SIW from what I have seen since Garry re-lit 
the pilot light on SIW so to say...

EAR just about or at 20dB above the background noise. Difficult to tell as 
those to light tracer carriers almost never fade completely into the 
noise....

A few snow showers here today Mitch as I was replacing the small home made 
compression fit connectors to the vacuum
relay that switches my 160m loading coil in/out of my HF elevated ground 
plane... I thought the snow was all my fault for getting the ladder out and 
working on the antenna....
