Yes, I posted earlier. I'm in southern Michigan, and it's so clear
here, I was wondering if it was Great Lakes - but I gather it is east
coast -?

I couldn't pick up anything on 8983 this evening... oh well, I tried.
Occasionally I can hear iron oar freighters on the Great Lakes during the
summer months, but as I don't have the best of all possible antennas at my
current location, I don't listen to the utility part of the SW bands much
right now.

Still, I hope that one day the propagation gods will smile upon me, and that
I'll be able to hear fishing boats off the east coast, with their requisite
assemblage of colorful characters engaged in a good argument or three.
