0600z  --I can't hear the Desert Whooper or Coast Slider from my home in DM04.  I then try Token's Mojave SDR and can't hear them either.  I also tried the KFS Omni, but it does not load.  So I then listened on the N. Utah SDR and could hear both beacons with no problems.

It appears signals are "going long" tonight.

FWIW, I heard some fast 20+ WPM CW on 4101.4 fairly strong on the N. Utah SDR and much weaker on my own station.  Too fast for me to pick out more than a few letters.  4100 USB has weak Asian language.

Just a note that I enter these loggings right after I hear the stations. The date and timestamp of this message is good for anyone interested in guessing at propagation to SoCal.

2097.315 KHz    "A" beacon, good signal here on the MLA loop and the R8600
4095.670 KHz    DW. Good signal on the KX3  BAT 13.0  OTMP 51  ITMP 55  PV 1
4109.400 KHz    Coast Slider, weak but readable slow whoops! Good job to the builder!
