Recorder catch:

6925 USB SIO 323

Decent signal with some fading - morse started off at higher pitch then came back on after adjusting frequency.

01:26z-01:28z NRUI 'Happy Halloween' message

NRUI was part of the morse traffic from this Amelia Earhart show: http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,360.msg2212.html#msg2212

I wondered what the significance of the NRUI callsign was.

I believe that  NRUI was the calll-sign for the USCGC Itasca that Amelia Earhart was trying to call. Not sure what that has to do with halloween.
