Art,
According to http://earthdirections.org/locate/ the Marshall Islands are
about 286 degrees from Michigan. (16 degrees north of due west.)
That doesn't necessarily indicate that their signal was coming directly
from that azimuth.

I am curious what beam heading (for lack of a better term), you received
them at this morning.
I was unable to copy them on my SW BOG or on the Inv L, but had pretty
decent copy on my OCF antenna at 50ft. The ends of the OCF are E/W.

How well are they hearing central and eastern North America on 160?
http://v73d.mydx.de doesn't list any RX antennas.

From that page:
"...the problem is a high man made noise ... That means we are hearing not
good and are not happy about so many signals just in the noise. That means
your signal must be over this noise. The noise level from 160 to 30 m is
never better than S5 noise, on 80 m extremely bad with
Art,
V73D was in for a long time this morning from roughly 1100GMT to 1145GMT
here in eastern VA. Signal reception was roughly from the west. They are
clearly having difficulty with RX. Best luck to you . I hope you work them.

Thanks for the reminder JC.
Remember. 160 meters was not included in most ham gear not so
long ago. It's a gift we should treasure.

This morning I could hear them S5-6 on 80M and worked them there but
they were clearly having trouble hearing.
On 160M I couldn't hear them at all although I heard stations calling
them around 1015UTC.
Their web site says they have high noise levels on 80 and 160 from the
resort hotel they are.
V73D best heard today (and most previous days) on SW setting on my K9AY loop.
SP beam heading from my central California QTH to V7 is 267 degrees. V73D TB
signals this AM (Friday) were light.
I have listened to V73D on TB most days since they first came on. I can not
recall a single day when
