Managed three (apparently) DU audios: 702 at 1205UT, 792 at 1209UT, and 774 at 1215UT. All were deeply in the murk, and required a bit of preamplification to be sure these weren't imaginary.

As for me, I got called after midnight, and didn't return for a few hours.....so slept in, although, I have recorded the 11:45 to 12:15 window between 530 and 1330 on Perseus to have a quick look. I'll report later if anything interesting showed up.....Walt.
