CQD was not in this AM in my overnite recording.  If you were hearing CQD on its upper offset of ~373.022 you very well may have also been hearing the lower offset of EE (Alexandria MN) on ~372.956 which was strong all AM here.  The dits of EE are spaced closely together sounding and looking like an I, and its listed cycle time is about 6.2 seconds.

DGPS conditions have been dismal the past few days, coinciding when the DST index (which you clued me into) dropped.

Please let the NDB guys know if you DGPS guys can find Canada.  Other than the flamethrowers, Canada appears to have disappeared the last few days.  We are very concerned.

All the leaves are brown, and the sky is gray, so time to change threads.

Hi Matt;

My guess is that you were hearing the lower sidband of the NDB CTZ in Clinton, NC.  Its carrier is on 412 kHz, and I measured the LSB as being on 410.993 last night.
