Thanks Russ,

With your heading, we are starting to narrow in on a East South East
direction from Columbus Ohio (heading 106 degrees from Columbus Ohio at a
distance of approximately 77 miles).

If someone is in that general area it would be nice to know if they hear
the signal during the middle of the day.

Suspect location subject to change as more data is received.

Thanks,
Don
