Was listening a while at 7.000 MHz hoping to hear that ditter that was reported earlier... No joy on that but then the pescadores started to come in so I popped up towards 8 MHz to see what was there.  Good copy on Shorty now - sure enough, it does 18 dashes, then quits until the top of the minute, and then repeats.  about 1.5 to 2 S units above my local noisy (on a noisy band today).  Time 2324Z.

Shorty and Hiker are tough pulls for me this last week, as the USCG DRM on 8000 kHz kills a 10 kHz wide swath.

However both were in good shape here at 0300z on Nov 11, 2016.  Hiker was booming, and Shorty was decent.
