When I received VE1ZZ I was using Spectran in a low resolution mode 
(470 - 540Hz). The reason for that was I was not sure how close  the 
transmission would be to the stated frequency. As luck would have it 
the signal was clearly readable at that resolution and I was loath to 
change it until I had the full callsign and had it recorded. 
It might be the first time (21/21/00 at 0030UTC) a clearly 
idendifyable call has been received this side of the Atlantic from 
North America on 136kHz but I guess you can put me right.
I do not have a web page but it could be put on Dave's or Rik's web 
page if it is regarded as sufficiently important.

Last night I missed the main opening at 2300 because (and you may 
have difficulty envisaging this!) it is our 'Come Dancing' night. I 
switched on at 0015 and saw only Loran lines. Later a very strong 
signal came on frequency and played some musical notes. Later a QRSS 
signal appeared but only R 'T'.
