[hpsdr] Mercury sees first RF here

[Ronald Cox]

Yes, after 6 hours or so working with it, I am very impressed! I found  
the source of the popping. The very High voltage line behind my house  
has a problem. I think by putting an antenna tuner in line with the  
RF, it will calm down even more. The PowerSDR CW filtering is a wonder  
to behold. Sounds great at 25Hz! Thanks to the entire team for a great  
radio.
