That reminds me, I have not calibrated the SDR14 against WWV 
lately... doing that yields a carrier freq of 5919.957. Hmm, not too 
far off from before.  -69dBm here with a 48mb dipole aimed towards 
euroland (and presumably picking up off the back end aimed somewhat 
towards Virginia ;-)

I need to look into getting a GPS freq ref to feed into the SDR14.

I guess I will just leave the 545 tuned in, and listen to hear if any 
audio pops up.
