[Rudy Severns]

I had a great time last night decoding WSPR signals.  I know it sounds odd 
but I could tell I'd improved my listening because I can now hear the static 
crashes from lightning!  When I first tried this fall all I heard was a loud 
buzz and a couple of local digital signals.  The reception was static free!

Things are noticeably better but I still have much work to do.  As soon as I 
put in a relay to short the rx antenna while transmitting I'll be ready to 
automatically interleave transmitting and receiving of WSPR.  I'll also be 
ready to try CW QSO's although my reception is still pretty noisy.

I'll run my CW beacon this evening on 477 kHz from 0030Z until about 0300Z 
and then switch over to WSPR rx.
