FAST DASHER
Noticed this signal on the waterfall.
Tuned over and found a fair to solid signal easy copy.
Not as much commercial intereference on this frequency.
Often quite loud compared to noise level.
Nice! :D

I'm hearing this at 1330z, the frequency seems to be around 7998.3 or so this morning.
Possibly a new one for me?

Hello Chris!
Yes I agree with the frequency you found for the "fast Dasher". I must've missed typed that frequency.
Sorry about that!  I have good clean signals tonight, and as such, was able to measure the frequency with
accuracy. I found 7998.389 for overall best on the waterfall and it had good "musicality" as a confirmation.

I will re-post this logging so others will not be off frequency.  By the way I have fairly good graphics of both
this dasher and QRP so will transfer from .BMP to .JPG and also post it. The Winradio generates .BMP files.
