Ron,

K6B is not listed on QRZ.com so probably a false return or too noisy 
to decode properly.  I would go to N0UK logger called ping jockey or 
the ON4KST logger and ask if anyone is currently running MSK144.  Try 
to find a station less than 1200 miles from you for best chances to 
see a ms signal.

Once you have detected a few then you will have more confidence in 
seeing random callers.

I may get my 2m array raised today if not too cold.  1200w amp needs 
only one more test to be QRV for eme/ms.
Unfortunately too far from you for ms, Ron.
