At 1845z I am getting a steady signal NW of my location FN42nn (15 mi north 
of Boston).  It is local ground wave with no QSB at present.  I'm using a 
K9AY loop setup and the signal peaks significantly on the NE loop.  I am on 
the ocean north of Boston (Beverly MA) so this direction is inland from me 
towards NH.  It seems like it must between W1FV and I but further north.
