Never heard them here, Joel (near San Francisco). According to their website, they are using a 2-element vertical array on topband (and maybe 80 as well). That may account for some or all of the change in signal strength. Their plan also shows them running bigger amps on 80 and 160.

Based on callers I could hear, the op seemed to be doing fine until he quit around 0550Z.

Hoping for better tonight. 80CW was no problem -- easy copy on my broadside dipole and I got through in reasonable time.
