No prob... Just offering a possibility. Given the weather, is it at all possible the transmitter got knocked off? It's still really nasty around here. I wonder if they would consider running a morse code ID every morning at 3am? One thing we did do many years ago in a VT test was use a 5KHz morse code tone. That puts it above the audio response of a lot of radios, yet into the clear for DXers. Set a receiver in CW mode with a very narrow bandwidth tuned to either 1235 or 1245. I'd bet there isn't a local listener at that hour of the day that would even notice. I tried to set that for WNBH-1340 and WLKW-1450 some time back, but no luck. I'll try again...
