John;
Does look like my signal and bet daytime will show it. I can go to 60 very easily which I will do. Have small issue with my variometer coil as it is not heavy duty enough to handle the power. Am going to put a coil in it's place before it burns up. If I am off for awhile I am retuning things with a hefty coil in place of the BC 375E ant tuner! It's really only made for 100 Watts!

Hi Bob,
Saw a signal at your expected spot (attached) but can't confirm the ID. Two
big strikes against me here: the continuous S9 roar of static tonight, and
the lack of QRSS45 as a mode in Argo. I think all the QRN tonight dodged
Jay H and came right down the 30 mS/m soil conductivity corrider from
Montana and the Dakotas this evening...a very likely scenario, actually, at
these frequencies.
I believe it really would have made a difference if you had been sending in
QRSS60. While 45 can be copied in 30 seconds slow or 60 seconds normal if
the signal is good enough, it wasn't quite strong enough to detect in either
of those modes. At 60 seconds slow, the signal showed up, but the detection
is not optimized for 45 second elements, so the matched filter concept
wasn't helping.
I'll be watching again in the morning, from roughly 10 AM to 1 PM Central
(11 A to 2 P Eastern), when there shouldn't be any skywave to worry about
and storms should be minimal.
