Nope, it wasn't us. We s/off at 1001UTC exactly, because as we approach mid summers day soon and the daytime damping here in Europe is very high, and it makes no sense to continue during daytime. Keep in mind the electricity costs! Might have been WBCQ you listened to. WBCQ is usually 63 Hertz below channel (FCC allowed 50 Hz, btw). We are 'on spot' +/- 1 Hz using GPS controlled exciter.

Try again during European evenings between 1700 and 2300 UTC on both 3975 and 6160 kHz.
