I was able to pick up yesterday's pass at about 2:15pm CDT driving south 
along I-35 in central OK. This was a Mode A pass, as I could distinctively 
hear the FM-ing of CW signals around 29.450, but I was not able to pick out
the telemetry beacon at 29.502. My code skills are rusty, so I didn't catch
the station's call.

Rig is IC-706MKIIG with AH-4 matching a 98" whip mounted on the back hitch.
Preamp was on.
