I'm in north central Michigan at Houghton Lake - EN74oh. I have no 
directional antennas and only modestly helpful data. The band seems 
quiet this morning and I have a barely audible signal (1300Z). Daylight. 
Last night (0300-0400Z) it was bringing my S-meter up over S5 (whatever 
that means) and the R-599 is really oversensitive. I would normally have 
some attenuation cranked in on 80 meters. Just one more point of confusion.

This reminds of a guy we called "the dittler" on one of the shorter 
bands. He had moved something up against the dit side of his paddles and 
set his transmitter in action. Two or three days later the locals DFed 
him down to his front door and the embarrassed guy turned it off.

73,
