Jerry, Bob and the group.  That "TEST EST" signal was probably me.  I
started out send that on 29402 and eventually let the transmitter idle
so that a phase lock could be obtained.  The elevation was only 6
degrees maximum.  In the future, I'll put out a signal on 29401 + 800
Hertz just to stay clear of you guys.  Do check 200 Hz lower!!
      This will be for Friday only as I will flying out Saturday morning
