[Lowfer] WOLF tonight

[John Andrews]

JR,

Well, you saved some real money by not sending the adapter and clip leads out to a cal lab!  

Thought the freq was close, but that's a nice confirmation. It's not the original exciter with the two DDS sections to minimize round-off errors. Just a single DDS now, so there will be errors in the low milliHertz range. Of course, the sound card is still the biggest part of the equation. Spent some time on it at the first of the year. 

Have been working on a 150 watt rig for the Maine QTH. Class D bandswitched. PA is done, just starting on the exciter.

Plugged it into the RF-590 and with absolutely nothing showing on the waterfall got the following:
