 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
