Eric: Unknown, possibly some type of daytime D or E skywave ??? Sometimes in 
late afternoon I can receive 1660 kHz AM station Charlotte, NC on my SW EWE 
via what appears to be skywave. Given the much lower take off angle of your 
beverages, the path distance is in line with  the DX  range other E-type 
single hops, possibly a multi - "D" hop..????  The Solar flare graph shows a 
mid-range C-class flare that happened about the same time....

I was doing a WSPR dbase search to see if you had recently captured "EAR" by 
any chance,  and the "XXM" capture popped up as the search result.....

Still no "EAR" here, although I have had some light squiggles around .610 
and .630 that are on top of plasma TV lines.....

 I imagine that 4-square field of yours is pretty soggy today.....

Sorry I was not able to help with the Thor audio last nite, work continues 
to be busy here....
