16:27 WW8II-BRUCE: I just did a CW test signal at approx 1626ut

16:28 W4DEX-DEX: Looks good, I may have cut some of your signal because I was tuning up

16:28: *** WY3T is now online ***

16:28 WW8II-BRUCE: Looks like maybe 10 db above the noise

16:28 WW8II-BRUCE: Will do another one at 1630ut

16:29 W4DEX-DEX: But of course my signal will not show up on the graph

16:29 W4DEX-DEX: not slop bucket mode

16:30 W4DEX-DEX: Jeff may not understand that terminology 

16:31 WW8II-BRUCE: did solid 30sec CW with ID at the end
