My thanks also to the web for recording outside of Orlando, Fl.
I just realized you had an attachment on your email!
The dash sounds pretty clear at low signal levels.
Its got a load of chirp and is hard keyed so clicks also
appear when the signal level is much higher.

Thanks for the logging and report!
