Hi Russ,

Les seemed to go into the hard core QRSS mode thinking as he is a LF 
experimenter. What I am talking about is something do-able by anyone who 
can download and install Spectrum Lab (freeware) and run the audio from 
their receiver to their PC sound card. Otherwise than that, all is need 
is to tune their receiver 1 kHz or so either side of the target 
frequency, start up Spectrum Lab with its default settings, set the 
waterfall bandwidth to 3 KHz and just watch the waterfall for the CW 1 
kHz above/below the target carrier.

Spectrum Lab can display signals that your receiver and ears easily miss.
