Thanks Martin!  My guess would be HWU, based on signal strength.  Really caught me by surprise to hear CW Morse on VLF just after copying SAQ!  I have copied what I assumed was HWU on a number of occasions,  as on all of those signals there, one must just go by operating frequency and the published station frequency lists.  It was interesting to note how many more relatively low amplitude VLF MSK signals were detectable using just the 80
meter Hamstick compared to the 200
foot trailing wire.  Much better SNRs on the stick, despite the lower absolute signal levels (nominal 20 dB down for all of the usual suspects (NAA, NPM, NAU, and WWVB).  All of the QRN was T-storm crashes, nil man-made EMI at the Barn Island wildlife reserve/boat launch).  Nearest utility lines and residences are about a half mile away from there.
