I'd highly recommend not creating raw transactions in the future unless absolutely necessary . $1,500 is a pretty risky mistake if it didn't land on a known pool wallet/IP.
Very much appreciated - although I've been doing raw tx's without a problem for weeks I guess the exhaustion of working over 12 hours per day for the last week has clearly taken its toll.
I will certainly be "ultra-cautious" with all future raw tx's.
