Here's my log from earlier:
 
Heard the UFO beacon while being tuned to 14399.85 USB - SIO ranged from 232-333 with fading conditions bringing the signal in & out of the static to easy copy at times.  Started listening at 23:30z & heard the beacon stop at 00:02z.  The strongest time for my location was around the 23:30z-23:45z range.  The short audio sample is from 23:33z-23:35z.

Ahh, fading back in as I type this.
