With the DX adrenaline still pumping, persistence pays off in chasing this one down:

Thanks Joe!  I was blown away when I heard that sign-on announcement and Yankee Doodle interval signal so clearly under WCKY.  This is what it's all about!

Thanks guys.  I tried last night too but found absolutely no sign of their interval signal at 0258 UTC sign-on.  WCKY is a monster here and very difficult to null, so I tried phasing my D-KAZ against a short BOG wire.  This helped a little bit and I was able to null WCKY down a couple more S units.
