Above is Stu’s screen shot — you can see Eldon’s FSK signal: WAOUWH (read along the top of the square wave) at around 10140050 Hz.<\/p>\n

Thanks Stu, and thanks to Bill Meara and SolderSmoke.com
This is my my FIRST confirmed QRSS report from my first QRP rig, it is about 150mw into a North South 6 foot Loop about 6 feet AGL.
You represent it on about the freq that I think it is – without too much calibration on my part.
See: http:\/\/qth.map.googlepages.com\/?qth=CN97BV43TU&from=CM87vk
Is your Grabber online?
Thanks for the report.

Don’t let the Zero land call fool you, I got it many year ago while in the Navy stationed at Denver, now located in Seven land near Seattle.
