Hi Doug, 

Last night was sort of a last minute thing, I know it was pretty late notice. 

I will be transmitting again tonight, starting at 0500 UTC ( 10 pm MST ) on 186.109 khz ; mode will be DFCW60. 

Sorry to keep moving the frequency around, I'm trying to find a nice clear spot free of spurious signals !

Hi Mark. The sooner your post your evening's operating mode and schedule, 
the better. 

I go to bed around 9:30PM EST and seldom check my e-mail (and thus, this 
list) after 9PM EST. 

Pretty sure you can add me to your list of reception reports if you let us 
all know soon what mode/frequency/etc you are planning tonight!
