Well darn.  The signal on 3501.6 stopped at 2301 UTC.  I thought maybe 
it would have some RTTY when it came back on like it did last time 
(maybe with a station ID), so I recorded it.  It didn't.  It just 
started up with a constant carrier.  It came back at 0011 UTC.

It's at S9+10 on my vertical.

Tom thanks for the measurement.  Makes me feel better about my 133 
degree estimate.
