Thanks for the capture, your reception seems a lot stronger. The only 
change here was to switch back to the U3S exciter, which is maybe set at 
a little higher drive level. Outside of having connections in the Helix 
Can taken apart and re-made no other changes have been implemented here.

I would guess that the propagation conditions, and maybe the connection 
cleaning effort you described contributed to a better report.

Thanks for your time to listen and report to the list.
