A nice SIO 444 signal at 1928z, he said just 5 watts!!
Thanks for the shout out. Nice to hear some music on a Sunday afternoon, as I'm doing some programming.
Now 30 or 35 watts, he just said.

RRR's op asked what I programming I am working on now, two of my apps right now:
Sound Byte, which is used by radio stations, theaters, sporting events, etc for playing sound files: http://www.blackcatsystems.com/software/soundbyte_rack_cart_machine_radio_automation_software.html (probably similar to some of the apps you're using)
and MultiMode, a SSTV, PSK31, etc digital modes app: http://www.blackcatsystems.com/software/cw-rtty-sstv-fax-psk31-packet-decoding-software.html

And now he's back into the music. A steady S9 on the NRD 545's S meter (using a sloped folded dipole).

The op is talking about whether or not his signal is going long... Checking my waterfall, I do see the selective fading pattern in your signal showing it might be starting to go long.

And at 2127, the signal suddenly went long. Just a faint carrier now.
