Barely heard the CW tones amongst the numerous graveyard stations, but could not copy. I used a Panasonic RF 2200 and a Yaesu FRG-7700 with a 75 meter doublet here in Central NY state
I logged on to a remote DX tuner in PA and heard some CW about 0710. I also listened with my Sony ICF-SW7600GR from here in Indiana and very clearly heard slow CW "WOON" IDs from 0741 to past 0750 with just the built-in antenna. The code IDs cut thru the graveyard mess quite well.
I heard the morse code coming through but no voice modulation. My QTH is northern Sweden, receiver SDR-IQ and antenna 1300 meters beverage in 296 degrees which should be almost perfect.
Heard some code at 0739 in Omaha, but it was at a high pitch rather than the usual 1000 Hz tone. Could this have been them?

I think the pitch was closer to 800 Hz
I was on a DX-expedition at Andoya, Northen Norway and monitored the frequency all the time between 02-03am EST. WOON's CW ID's came trough all the time above the jumble on the fq. A perfect documentation that CW is very effective! No voice ID as far as I have found out so far.
