Good catch Burr, I started monitoring it on my modded out DX394 then
switched to my Hammarlund 129X with Heathkit Q-Multiplier piped into a
couple nice stacks- I got the heads up from of buddy. Pretty exciting
IMO- those are the types of monitoring sessions that everyone IMO
thinks about and when they go down it's pretty cool.

I remember three or four years ago monitoring a fishing vessel that
was going down calling mayday in the Caspian sea then read about it
seven days later, I wondered why it took sevens days for the print
media to hit on it. Some of the things that make you go "Hmmmmmm".
