Jay thats the record so far. I list my speed as qrss 30 out of habit but
 it is closer to qrss 60.
I am using K1EL chip at .02 wpm. Steves newer chips offer .04 wpm. I have
 thought of installing
one of the newer chips and shortening to a two letter id . Dex and Roger
 have had problem getting
full Id due to the length of my ID with qsb. Dex has pictures of my setup
 on http://www.w4dex.com/gallery/WMS
I wonder what you are using for rec and antenna.
>From the reports I have seen propagaion is long. WEB has been down a few
 days. I dont see CV and UWL. I am about
254 from CV and about 330 from UWL. My guess  is we are too close.
Thanks for spending the time looking for me. Before sundown I'll tweak it
 up.

First night camped out on WMS frequency.  
 
A number of 'frags' overnight with improved reception around sunrise.
 Switched to QRSS60 just after  
this capture but ran out of darkness. Will try for a brighter, cleaner ID
 for your scrapbook but the  
evidence so far is all but iron clad. I note your frequency to be 2 Hz
 below advertised at 187490  
and it does wander around maybe 0.2 Hz. Hopefully the 'squirgles' will
 remain clear of your  
frequency.  
 
Rough calculation is 1234 miles. Nice going!
