Yep, I should have thought about the folks that are restricted to General class, I used to hate it when people did that to me!
 
So, I'm going to try 7238 which seems clear of broadcast band QRM.
 
Rick's point about SNR on a band like 80M at night is well taken, so I'll give up on 80M but will try 7238 until 0200 tonight.
 
 
By the way, as Rick suggests the text message transmitted in the ACQ.txt file require less of an SNR than DV.  I made a .txt file (called r.txt) for returning to stations that I hear after my ACQ.  I have it up and running so that I can simply change the call sign and SNR report, save it, and transmit it as a picture.  I have included it below so that you can steal and personalize.

KV9U , Good evening .  Your report is SNR=7.1 
 
Name here is Andy and the location if Fredonia
 
New York (FN02hk) about 45 miles South West of Buffalo, NY..
 
Running 100 watts here in to a dipole.
 
So, how copy ?   If SNR is above a 9.0, we may want to switch to Digital Voice.
