Probably. But, hey, you never know when conditions are good how far you're going to get out. And with a constant tone, it's much more identifiable than with programming.
But, the more I watch this thing, the more I'm thinking - much like the rest of you - that it is not domestic (US/Canada). The thing that I find really confusing about the tone station is its consistent signal both day and night on a wide geographic level. If it is not domestic (i.e. Latin America, Cuba, S. America) it must have one heck of a power level to be heard here during the day. On the other hand, if it is high power, why is it not stronger at night? This is a true puzzler. By the way, I caught it again on my way home tonight about 1715 Eastern mixing with a Spanish language station. The two were fighting it out for dominance on the channel -- neither was really winning. 73, Rene' Rene F.
