switched the preamp on. Without the preamp they were still several S units
above the band noise.

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.
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 cons

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

I copied them briefly at sunrise in Virginia. The only beverage I could
hear them on was one pointed due west...and even then they were well water
weak.

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 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.
