Gary, Thanks. I give a lot of credit to my almost zero noise level and the ground system I use. I have the backyard loaded with ground rods & copper pipe. For a number of years I fiqured if a couple ground rods were good, lets put in 10 or 15. Plus the EWE antennas work very well. I remember when I heard Ft. Lewis. It just popped up out of nowhere and disappeared just as fast. I had irt for only a minute or so. I turned on the cassette deck and I recorded what I heard. It was fairly clear at times. I never caught the complete message, just sentences here and there. But of course the NW does not have any stations on 1500 and that helkps a lot. I have not heard it since though. It was like being at the right place at the right time sort of thing I guess. The skip got a hold of it just right and made in down here. I called Ft. Lewis and got the name & office on where to send the report. That took more work, running down the right office. Fort Lewis is bigger than I thought!
