Hi Tom
I just sent John some JPG's of the spectrogram plots I did at about the same
time as John did (as he said, we were setting up and "practicing" for the ARRL
FMT on Wednesday evening).
I'm using a similar program on my machine that does in fact run in Windoze. It's
called "Spectrum Laboratory" by Wolfgang Buescher, and you can find it at:
www.qsl.net/dl4yhf
It's not quite as nice for our purposes as what John is using, but I don't have
Linux on my laptop. :) The program is pretty nifty though and certainly worth
downloading and playing with it.

That's a nice set of plots. Very cool tool. Too bad there's
no Windows version. Or is there a x86 Windows-based
emulator for Linux executables that would help?
Did you see the dozen mystery signal examples in:

I believe the baudline tool would be fantastic for analyzing
short-term stability of oscillators.
John, your plots bring up an interesting issue. Calling it
a frequency shift over a half hour may be mathematically
correct but we know this is actually a received carrier
phase shift over the sampling time. A good analogy of
how a phase microstepper works.
