Just returned from a working trip offshore in the Northeastern Pacific (not
very pacific much of the time), and had along the DR-333 and its
accompanying signal strength monitoring program. I had set one of the
channels to 1710, and recorded a couple of definite blips above the noise
floor before 1100UTC, about Buenos Aires sunrise. Never more than a
carrier heard, but Buenos Aires sunrise might be a good time to go after
this one in western North America.

best wishes,
