Heard in Virginia at about 1545 EST, RST 539C at about 7023 kcs. 
TOO COOL!   Noise level about S2 but easy copy over that.

Darned good sig for a keyed oscillator on 40 -- about 1kcs of chirp.  
Either you were retuning or the thing is pretty stable -- it was well 
within the 2.4 kcs passband, the whole time.  Keying is perfect, it 
seems to me.   

Yeah, I was copying on the HBR-4; isn't there a rule that vintage 
signals can only be copied on vintage or homebrew equipment?   
Well ... maybe not.

Then I tuned up the band a ways and listened to a nice stable 
modern signal, with keying so hard that I could hear clicks for 10 
kcs each way.
