Chris, the signal you saw at 185.2992 kHz was no doubt my beacon, SIW 
sending QRSS60 from EN51uq. The actual frequency is supposed to be 
185.2993 kHz but calibration may have slipped a bit now that winter has 
arrived. The signal you saw at 185.3015 would have been WMS in AR (EM34wu).

I monitored 137 kHz over night and found good signals from MP and TIL. 
Those signals also made it nicely into the KL7UK Oklahoma grabber.

Early evening yielded NDB signals to the Caribbean but by morning the 
QRN was high due to storms in Missouri. That would have made 185 even 
noisier at Chris's QTH.
