Thanks for the test signal.  Last night I went out with a flashlight, 
connecting two loops in series to favor signals arriving from the 
south-east.  When I got back to the shack I noticed a high contact 
resistance outside, resulting in low Q and low SNR.  WOLF locked on 
to your signal but no message copy by bedtime. Figured there might be 
a chance anyway so left a notebook running.  After the static abated 
at sunup this morning there you were:

Guess it shouldn't be unexpected since little WOLF in Raymond is 
always pretty solid here and your TX loop at Holden is no doubt better suited.
