Good to hear of your success Mike, glad the heads up worked!  My main
purpose in checking was seeing what Benin on 1566 was up to.... and then
saw all the other carriers.  I checked around 0330 ut and noted lots of
carriers but generally less audio than the previous night.  Best
carriers/close to audio were 1215 1377 1422 and two you didn't mention 1458
and 1485.  I checked a bit later and things seemed well down so I lost
interest.  Just curious what time did you hear all this?  And on a "broken
ewe" no less!  Here if I didn't have the newly strung 2100' beverage it
wouldn't have been even worth commenting about.  The shorter 1000'
beverages and any of the loops just weren't delivering.
