[time-nuts] Capturing CHU frequency switchover

[John Ackermann N8UR]

Magnus, you read my mind!  I'm planning to record 7335 on one channel,
and 7850 on the other.  The only problem is that my wire antenna blew
down in the last wind storm, so I only have a vertical and I'm not sure
how that will work.
