Pretty much dead on 1000Hz according to Spectran, Barry.   What I 
heard was more like 1450Hz and a bit faster, and there is no way I've 
been able to get the call letters out of it.    I don't know what it 
was, but I'm getting very pessimistic about it having been WCXH.

In fact, did any of you folks who did hear WCXH for certain hear any 
code at 0411 EST?   In your original submission, Barry, you didn't 
mention it as one of the ID times.

best wishes,

Nick
