Guess the LRL Contest
And the winner is.... CARL-NC!!!
Yes, Carl won the guess the LRL contest. He offered the only correct answer:
The waveform I posted was actually a 1/2 size screenshot of the Iconos posted waveform, and I edited the part where the waveform began fluctuating as well as the volt scale, and erased some identifying marks, then converted the finished image to a gif to save filesize.
Yup my fake waveform was designed to fool people into thinking there is some electronic waveform to prove there is a signal from an LRL, when it is really only some image editing. Now if I was a weasel or some rodent that wanted people to send me money, I could use this fake waveform to help trick foolish people into mailing their check to me. Of course I would never provide any scientific publications to demonstrate that scientists believe it works too. Nor would I provide any references to any archaeologists or anyone at all that ever found any treasure with my LRL.
Oh, the beauty of it...
I could buy some surplus junk parts like odd-shaped coils, old telephone wires, pieces of plastic water pipes and glue them all together with hot melt glue. Nobody would be the wiser, because I told everyone it works on a secret principle that no EE can figure out. 
I expected Carl-NC to be the most likely to figure out the answer first, followed by Qiaozhi and maybe Max. The hint I left in the image is exactly what carl noticed: The sharp waveform where I edited it. But Carl's answer was directed at Iconos, not my post. Apparently Carl was not interested in my prize -- a brand new Toyoda. He is more interested in hearing from archaeological professionals who have published accounts of treasure recoveries made with the Iconos, or anyone, for that matter.
And a good thing Carl is not interested in my prize, because the new Toyoda is a fake too...

Your waveform has all the indicators of fabricated artwork... fuzzy grid lines as if from a screenshot, and a crisp waveform line as if from Paintshop Pro. And I suppose you had the 500GHz option installed on your LeCroy, because that's what it would take to capture that waveform.
