[Lowfer] DCF-39 on west coast, seen on Argo?

W1TAG loran line info which should cover all US locations:

http://lwca.org/library/reference/LORAN/loran_lines.htm

I'm reading DCF39 at 138830.59 + or - .01 or .02 Hz.

Here's a shot with 30 dB attenuation in front of the reciver to knock the sig down some:
