Thanks for the nice report -- sorry for the slow response, but we had a 
family gathering here at the Maine QTH today, and there was no radio time!

That's a good haul for such a small signal -- speaks more for WOLF than 
anything you or I did! At 130 miles, I can just barely hear it in Maine 
during the daytime, and it's quite loud on peaks at night. Daytime copy 
is excellent, with decodes on the first or second line. But you're quite 
a bit farther away, and somewhat off-axis for the xmit loop, so it's 
nice to see the skywave doing its thing.
