I could still hear the carrier a little before noon EST at my QTH near
Indianapolis but now at 1:25pm I no longer hear it and don't hear it when
using Web based SDR receivers that normally heard it during the day. Sure
sounds like it's no longer on the air. Hope to hear the general location
where it was originating from as a learning experience for everyone
involved regarding HF Skywave DF abilities as there were a lot of headings
that did not correlate well with each other.
Just FYI,
