Finman, are you running CW with a dash after some number of IDs?  I'm seeing a signal like that on a waterfall display in the mid to late morning hours, but I haven't been able to copy the ID yet.  It's around 13564.590 most of the time.

Also, can you narrow down your QTH a bit?  EM96 is kind of a big place. Even knowing which state you're in would help.  Thanks.

Yes, that's the format, sounds like you heard (saw) it. Maybe an indication that conditions are beginning to improve. EM96VE is the location. It would also help to know your QTH. Last report was on a north south path... just wondering if it made it a bit west this time.

Thanks for listening and please post again if you copy the ID.

Well, if 833 miles counts as a bit, then yes.  :)

According to the NĜUK grid calculator, that's how far west my QTH in eastern Kansas is from you....nearly due west, in fact, less than 1° north of your latitude.

I don't get to listen but about once a week at present, but I'll keep an eye and ear out.

Thanks Prairiedog. That's good news! I appreciate the report. An updated transmitter and antenna are in the works...  :D :D
