I know this doesn't set any new distance records, but I appear to have
captured two of the DFCW "Q's" from ZL6QH this morning, on 137.789 kHz. The
screen shot may be seen at:

The shot covers the 1000 - 1100 UTC time period, with the reception
occurring around 1030. This is about a half hour before my local sunrise. An
attempt to record the session on another computer with a 60 sec/dot setting
failed when the computer locked up overnight. The 120 second screen smears
the consecutive characters, so each of the long lines is actually two
"dashes."
The receiving location is in Holden, Massachusetts, grid square FN42ch.
Coordinates are 42d 19m 12s N and 71d 49m 43s W. An Icom R75 receiver with a
12 turn loop was used.
I'll be out of email contact for a day or so.
