	N2XE/B is running a 1 milliwatt beacon on
3579.608 kHz from 2100 until 1230 UTC for the
rest of this week.  So far, John has been heard
545 miles away or 545,000 miles per Watt.  He
is located in Wappinger Falls, NY.

	While we wait for better lowband conditions,
take a listen and see if you can help John make it
to 1M miles per Watt!  The format of his message
includes "MSG" with a codeword repeated 3
times.  If you can copy it, send a note to John at
cecchere at us.ibm.com (inserting @ instead of at),
including your antenna and receiver for his database.
