[IRCA] WNJC to add "Quasi-QRSS" to this weekend's Test

["Les Rayburn" <les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

WNJC has agreed to add some "Quasi-QRSS" to their test signals during this 
weekend's maintenance. The broadcast test committee has sent a .wav file 
containing the slow speed Morse Code tones to WNJC.

The QRSS signal is encoded at 2.5khz. Dot length is 5 seconds in length.

You can attempt to detect the "Quasi-QRSS" signal using only your radio, 
computer soundcard and some free spectrum analysis software from 
www.weaksignals.com

Download the software called "Argo". Best chance is to use CW mode, and 
narrow filters to look for the two carriers that will be present at 
1547.5khz and 1552.5khz.

Good luck hearing (and seeing) the test signals. There should be lots of 
Morse Code ID's, sweep tones, and mystery sound effects signals for folks to 
listen to as well. Hopefully, the "Quasi-QRSS" modulation will make it 
possible for a few more folks to log the test.
