WNJC has agreed to add some "Quasi-QRSS" to their test signals during this weekend's maintenance. The broadcast test committee has sent a .wav file containing the slow speed Morse Code tones to WNJC.
The QRSS signal is encoded at 2.5khz. Dot length is 5 seconds in length. You can attempt to detect the "Quasi-QRSS" signal using only your radio, computer soundcard and some free spectrum analysis software from www.weaksignals.com Download the software called "Argo". Best chance is to use CW mode, and narrow filters to look for the two carriers that will be present at 1547.5khz and 1552.5khz. Good luck hearing (and seeing) the test signals. There should be lots of Morse Code ID's, sweep tones, and mystery sound effects signals for folks to listen to as well. Hopefully, the "Quasi-QRSS" modulation will make it possible for a few more folks to log the test.
