[SADXA] April ARRL FMT Results

[Jim English]

Hi Wes,

I usually try to participate in this event. When I thought about it I was
one day late.  Usually, I can grab the signals within 1 Hz.  My station is
very modist.  I use an ancient Flex 5000 connected to a Rubidium standard
using FLDIGI in the frequency analysis mode.  I very much enjoy this event
and will hope I don't miss the next one.

73,
