Hi Herb,
while I did not hear and did not take your signal.
Surprisingly, on January 28 2019 I had a similar situation,
I made 28 US FT8 stations mainly from NC,AL,GA and also TI2CC himself called me
at -12 level.
The most interesting thing that I did at the RX was at my TX antenna (use long
Wire spec type..),
because the NA Beveridge (and other directions) could hear twice as bad!
