Congratulations John and Laurie.  I have been watching Laurie's 72 KHz
signal also.  Last night I saw nothing.  On previous nights several
times I saw a 120 second line on 72.4014 (dash frequency) but I never
saw anything on the dot frequency.  Is there any blank time between the
dashes and dots?  Will be watching again tonight.

Dexter
