I am in Hobe Sound Florida, one mile from the ocean, and for some

that is the only good thing about these damned hurricanes!

That's about 1200 miles from you Bob = nice catch and well done.
I can sometimes get it from our Seefontein DX site on my Kiwa loop and
the Icom. WDHP is 10 Kw day and 1 Kw night time power.

What time did you get it in UTC/zulu?
And what radio and antenna were you using?
John,
I was up in the wee small hours, around 2am EDT, using a 40 foot wire
and my old Hammarlund HQ-145XC. I also checked the frequency to make
sure I was right by using the AMLOG but it was booming in with station
ID on the Hammarlund. Gotta love those old boatanchors!
