16:37 KG0VL-JEFF: KØAWU 52-53 SSB

16:38 W4DEX-DEX: Bill, had to completely remove SpecLab and reinstall to get it back working. No idea why or if the printer software install caused the problem

16:39 K0AWU-BILL: DEX -- Glad all is well with it agn -- Very odd -- I will keep it in mind -- However I am running it on a Win7 Machine

16:41 W4DEX-DEX: Win7 here also, computer is only shut down when necessary. I've heard an occasional reboot is often required but that didn't help. Computer is very energy efficient and runs the APRS Igate uploads so it is on 7/24

16:48 WW8II-BRUCE: OK that is a WOW nothing I will do 15 sec carriers for 2 min every 15 sec starting @ 1650

16:49 K0AWU-BILL: FB DEX -- Interesting -- wonder what caused the reboot that resulted in the SpecLab corruption? What kind of PC is it?

16:49 W4DEX-DEX: K0AWU CW no signal detected

16:50 WW8II-BRUCE: that 15 sec on 15 sec off

16:52 K0AWU-BILL: Bruce, sorry still nothing here -- though maybe with 15sec carriers

16:52 KG0VL-JEFF: No carrier heard here. 73

16:52 WW8II-BRUCE: I just looked what a difference

16:52 W4DEX-DEX: Jeff's signal is on the chart. slight freq shift from Bruce's signal is a good indication

16:52 K0AWU-BILL: Guys have a great Sunday -- 73

16:53 WW8II-BRUCE: YOU TOO

16:53 W4DEX-DEX: 73 Bill

16:53 WW8II-BRUCE: I will copy and save the logs 73 for today

16:54 W4DEX-DEX: RR, sure is interesting......at least me 

16:54 WW8II-BRUCE: Maybe tom,orrow I will do the 1 min intervals if you have the graph up
