Hello researchers, I am located in East Central Minnesota (45.4123 N 92.8823 W) and am receiving the 6792.5 TX signal up to S-9 level. I have heard the moon echo several times for brief periods (10 ~ 15 seconds) with perfect Q5 copy. Many other times it is distinguishable but not very strong. My receiver is a Kenwood TS-950SDX transceiver and I have a variety of antennas. The best antenna is the single element 40m Telrex dipole at 65 feet above ground. This is a full sized aluminum element approximately 76 feet long and is 2.5" diameter in the middle, tapering to 0.5" rods at the ends. It resonates at 7040 KHz. I am recording this session using Audacity and can upload this file to my website for your download if desired. I'm not certain what size it will be, probably 50-Mb in MP3 format. I started recording at a wide bandwidth (5 KHz) but went down to 250 Hz for the best reception. I have a lot of local noise (S9 +20 dB at wide bandwidth). At 05:35 I also heard what sounded like Over The Horizon Radar scanning your TX frequency. This was 3 or 4 bursts of 20 seconds or so. In Minnesota the conditions are clear, the moon is bright, it is high in the sky (overhead), and the temp is -12 F. It is 05:44 now while I type this message and I am monitoring the experiment. For the past 30 seconds I could not tell the difference between the TX and the echo. Audio-wise, they are the same strength out of my speaker. I couldn't not see the signal meter from this side of the room. 73 de Bob - KØRC in MN
