Depends where you recorded it. Looks too neat to be something randomly drifting, though.

doh, I completely overlooked that but it makes sense now. Being as it's the beat frequency we're looking at, would it be ok to also go higher than 10.141? I'm only asking because my oscillator seems to have settled down on 10.1418Mhz.
As for my receiver, it's looking more and more unlikely that I'm going to have something working by tomorrow, the results of todays efforts is basically just a soldered mess that does nothing There are too many 'unknowns' with my whole setup, hopefully I will stick at it and have something that works properly in time for the next transmission.
Well, the beacon will be up. Give it a shot if you can. If not, there's always next time.
You can also be above the signal, but any chirped-hell text I send will end up inverted on your display. Not that big of a deal, but something to be aware of.

What do people receive if they just connect their receiver to an audio amp? I'm not sure if my setup is working properly at all, I seem to be receiving is some random religous US shortwave station
edit: music now, coming from a local mediumwave station I think I can write off my attempt, but I hope everyone else has better luck than me.

The shortwave station you were hearing is in fact at 10.140Mhz. QRSS is quite able to transmit in the voice envelope of an AM station though. Don't give up yet, the bands change pretty drastically with time.

thanks for the reply, so I guess it was working more than I thought. I managed to eliminate the mediumwave station by changing the point at which I attached the antenna, got the shortwave station back then tried it in argo.
edit: ignore sorry, it was coming from the monitor

Heres a screen capture, taken around 1705Z.
My setup: Yaesu FT-857D HF radio, 3 element fan dipole (80m/40m/20m) up about 15m and almost perfectly broadside to Chris.
I'm receiving with speclab on my 1.2Ghz P4 laptop.
He's bouncing between -72dB and -48dB, I expect him to come up even more over the next couple hours. The slant is due to some serious thermal drift issues Chris was having early on. Seems to have flattened out a bit now.
