 Greetings:

I've heard speculation that Sam is in Arizona or New Mexico.

I'm in NE Arizona, using an RX-320 with a 600' north-south longwire about
80' off the ground.  Here is what I observed at 05:15 UT:

3700: Sam sounds close, but not enough to cover all QRN
4300: lots of QRM here (FAX), but Sam is strong enough to block most of it
6500: QRM here too (weather and FAX), but Sam is barely readable underneath
10500: No Sam at all

Sounds to me like:

1) Sam is close with very low power--which means east coast probably cannot
hear him at this time
2) Sam is somewhat distant from Arizona/New Mexico

Is my thinking correct?

Dave

I'm in Pennsylvania now and have managed to pick him up on 3700, 4300, and
6500. 3700 is the best, followed by 6500 and then 4300; I can't hear him at
all on 10500, but I'll keep checking throughout the day. I've made some
recordings of the 3700 signal; if anyone wants to hear them I could make up
some mp3s when I get home.
