[NLRS] Need some help listening for a 2m signal

[Mary Brown]

Odd, it was S6 in EN24gp 125 miles west of MPLS., heading 91
degrees(approx). Antenna is 4 x M2 2m12 at 35', mast mounted preamp...

Gary mentioned it to me too and I have been listening with an SDR and Icom
R-7000 connected to a discone (vertically polarized, omni) from here in
Mahtomedi (EN35mb) and I do not see or hear the signal with that equipment.

Also listening with FT-736, preamp and 2m yagi at 40', pointed straight
south and do not hear it.  Noise floor is below S1 on this gear.
