Yes op-8 would have been in easy reach. This
morning, Joe's dashes were well discernible even in the 0.7 Hz grabber window.
Having said that, my personal
preference regarding overnight beaconing is more towards "the slower the
better" ;-) In the morning I'd rather be greeted
by 10 really deep detections than by a long list of spots with
intermediate sensitivity.
As for frequency, using 137650 exactly might
not be ideal, as observers in East Europe would likely be affected by the
Russian Loran / Chayka chain. Actually here in Central Europe the 6.25 Hz
multiples reappeared today when Slonim (the most westerly station in the
chain) came back on air after several weeks outage. Staying away from
the Loran lines by a Hz or so will avoid that problem.

Joe,
Looking
at the psk-map , Its quite possible , all the
monitors where looking for OP8
signals ve7bdq <> we2xpq is also
showing as OP8 as well
No reason why OP8 should not
decode from you , just need to
qsy to the OP8 centre qrg 137.650
KHz
