Hi Guys:

Very poor conditions last night.  I got up a couple of times to
see what was coming in, but just a lot of QRN plus some steady
QRM from something local - sounded like a motor running.

The only time I got anything was early in the morning - here's
the trace excerpt...

Last last night I had noticed NC EM... on a couple of occasions but it
never could get it all until about 0930z (4:30 am eastern time).  I was
using GRAB 10:7.

My receiving loop is oriented to favor East/West and I can't turn it.
I figure the distance between us is about 750 miles and the bearing from
here is 195 degrees, very close to the null for this loop.

Nevertheless, the above copy demonstrates that you were on the right
frequency and GPS-sync'd at 0930z.  I kept the slog data for the overnight
run - when I have time I'll see if the new technique I'm working on would
have resulted in better copy.
