[RTTY] using WinWarbler to watch the band open

[FireBrick]

Alternate subject!
"Beacons!, We don't need no stinkun beacons!"

Those of us in the 'Black Hole' of the upper Midwest, are painfully aware of how the 
coasts and south work stations we can't hear.
This morning, 20 was still deader than my love life but I had the radio on 14071 while 
doing paperwork.
I couldn't hear any signal, but I noticed a trace faintly beginning in the waterfall.

While I still didn't 'hear' anything from the radio, it began to decode into a ON4 
station.

And then like 'Siegfried & Roy', magically, more traces faintly began to appear, grow 
stronger as the band opened.

So who needs beacons, if your trying to work that rare station, just put WW on the screen, 
and watch for traces  to begin.
Maybe you will get the jump on that station you need before the cluster spot gathers the 
hordes. lol
