A CW transmission every fifteen minutes, on the quarter hours,  for a few hours will be marking the 100th anniversary of transatlantic tests.  The broadcast will be from the Connecticut Radio Museum, 35 miles north of my qth.  http://1bcg.org/1BCG/

2300 Heard CW but quite noisy here.
Tecsun H501x (broadcast received on this unless noted), Zenith T/O G500, Zenith T/O Royal 7000, Emerson AR-176, Zenith 8S154, T/O 7G605 (Bomber), Tecsun PL-600, Tecsun PL-880, Zenith 5S320, Realistic DX 160 using 40 feet of copper wire.  With apologies to Senator Gramm for his thoughts on firearms, "I have more radios than I need but not as many as I want."
QTH:  Durham, Connecticut (rural setting, 15 miles north of Long Island Sound)

Tuned in at 2250z, 1.821 mHz CW mode.

This is what I got at 2330z.  decoded with FLDIGI, not the best but seems OK. Good reception. I'll keep trying.
