Had a nice sunrise enhancement this morning and copied the full callsign 
of WMS around 1045Z. That was using ARGO tuned to the high side of 185.3 
kHz and QRSS60, slow. A second ARGO screen tuned lower in frequency 
showed the DFCW of XDW at 185298 +/- .1 Hz beginning about 0930Z. While 
the signal was identifiable, it wasn't good enough to decode and had the 
"company" of spurs from local lowfer SIW running at 185299.3 kHz. 
They're visible when the QRSS3 SNR exceeds about 30 dB and ARGO is run 
at maximum sensitivity. MP at 185301.1 kHz was as usual good throughout 
the night.
