Tonite we started to hear them at 2218z, peaking best on the 60-degree
Beverage  about 569 through some line noise here. They were slightly weaker
on the 45-degree Beverage (both are about 540 feet) and I could not hear
them at all on the 110-degree Beverage. About 2240 the path shifted, and
they were now best on the 110-degree Beverage (880-feet), peaking 559. They
stayed there until 2255z when we had to QRT. Still no QSO!
