Well, without a doubt, there is a CW signal coming from somewhere.. Listening while driving home; the 2 spanish
stations started coming in, along with a english station... at 7:54 pm EDST the signal rose above the clutter to a
readable strength, and I heard " CQ CQ ~ fade ~ 2 ~ fade ..... ~ / ~ fade ~ K "  fast CW, est. abt 15 wpm
Listening on the rig at home, it was in and out until about 9 pm EDST... I haven't heard it for an hour and a half...
My Hi-Def flat screen makes me pretty deaf on the BC band... The 600 KHz refresh rate does a number on
the BCB...The short duration readable times of the signal make for a difficult catch too...
