Good going Bill.
Sunrise here is about 6:43 a.m. EDT. I ran a capture at 6 a.m. (Fri.) but have not yet reviewed it. Maybe I'll have a report later today.
Seeing that my current connected / working antenna is set to null at 255 deg., I am not expecting much.
Will take a shot at it again tomorrow morning at 7 a.m. connected to an antenna nulling 345 deg. or I will swap the feedline / transformer and termination on the other antenna to make it peak at 255 deg. / null 75 deg.
Unfortunately (in this case) I have no water heading west for a long distance. Usually (= for TA's, LA's) that's a good thing. DU's ... not so much.

Carriers today on 612, 702, 738, 774, 1116, 1512 and 1548. Only 1512 and 1548 came close to audio - both just at sunrise @ 7:10 AM EDT [1110 utc].Fade pattern on 1512 and 1548 of ~ 2 second peaks and ~ 2 second valleys. Both âteasedâ the SAM on peaks which took a bit of time to settle and then got lost in the domestic splatter and fading desired signal.Few mumbly words heard on both 1512 and 1548 between 1106 - 1115utc with 1548 holding out the longest.Perseverance will pay off someday!Bill WhitacreAlexandria, VAPerseus/Wellbrook 4-element delta phased array
