Early this morning, around 12:15 AM MST (07:15 UTC), Andy's beacon XR 
suddenly faded up from the noise. For the next two hours I copied him 
with the strongest and most consistent signal so far. By 2:15 AM I 
couldn't hold my eyes open any longer and shut down for the night.

My Argo capture can be found here:

And btw, Steve if you see this, yes I did get my receiving antenna back 
up to 40 feet above the ground. That was after replacing about 40 feet 
of privacy fence that was destroyed, replacing a dozen or so shingles 
that blew off of my roof, putting my HF inverted-vee back up, and fixing 
a few other things the 90+ MPH Chinook winds damaged.
