Looking hard ... but I'm not seeing a capture of N1DAY. Maybe it's in a
different capture?

Andy,
Great capture of N1DAY.
Brings back memories, I knew the original N1DAY Stephen Hubbard, a fascinating
guy and a member of the Northern Berkshire Amateur Club in Western
Massachusetts (NoBarc) - his obit published by the club is below.
73 Warren
Norman Stephen/Hubbard. N1DAY, a charter member of NoBARC; was 89 yrs old.
Steve lived in Lenox with his wife Agnes. He could be heard on ‘91 up until a
year or so ago until he got sick. A consummate gentleman, always - with a
charming British accent he was so very interesting to speak with on the air. He
was born in Norwich, England and also educated in England earning degrees in
anthropology, Chemistry and a degree in archeology from Columbia Univ. He
traveled widely and loved to talk about the time he lived and worked in South
Africa. N1DAY also held ham licenses in England, Africa and India.
Also an interesting item. Steve worked with Lord Baden-Powell the original
founder of Boy Scouts. So Steve we wish you rest in peace and your friends at
Nobarc will miss you.
(As per our custom Nobarc will affix a plaque with N1DAY’s call sign on the
door of the James Szewczyk Communications bunker that houses our equipment on
Mt. Greylock.) de Pat, N1LZH (and with help from N1PUA who knew him better than
all of us.)

I apologize for transmitting DFCW in the WSPR segment. I would have
preferred to be elsewhere but the other station has frequency
constraints and cannot move far. I sincerely hope this
doesn't cause
problems for anyone. This wasn't announced because it is a QSO
attempt but the cat is out of the bag now. Note that the frequency
used is one that almost always has an active WSPR station on it
(except during this QSO attempt), thus would not be an ideal choice
for a North American WSPR station.
73,
Paul N1BUG
