WD2XGJ was dog-boning in here last night.  As soon as Warren shut 
down after 0700z and my AGC recovered, traces of TIL appeared on the screen.
You hung in there pretty much through the night.  Last clear copy of 
TIL was at 1015z when it was quite light here.

About the time TIL was strongest, another signal showed up briefly 
around 137.7761 Khz.  I couldn't make out the callsign but judging 
from the timing I'd guess it was a west coast station.  I'll post a 
clip of that later.
