Mike: I think that is our first daylight reception, prior captures have all 
been late nite / early morning in 0800~1000 utc zone.  Best capture this 
afternoon is below

very clean pattern for that time interval.  Most recent view of watering 
hole is below. If past experience holds up your signal should peak here in 
the early morning.  In this +400 mile path it seems to be a bit too close 
for good-consistent skywave and on the edge of groundwave range from the 
past 2~3 years I have been chasing LF signals....
