	As of 4:04 PM PST I am copying UWL by "earball" at about 50%, by which
I mean that (when it fades up) I can catch about half of the letters in
any one ID and perhaps once in a while I can imagine I get them all. 
For some strange reason the "L" comes through clearly almost every
time!  Lousy propagation today probably isn't helping much either.  If
this were a DX station from whom I wanted a QSL his report would be
something like "5-9-9 plus".  At least that's the way DXers seem to do
it.  I'm not one.

	I've been watching your CW ID on Spectran for a couple of days but for
some stupid reason I didn't connect the rather strange display (smeared
in the frequency dimension) to CW until a few minutes ago.
