[Lowfer] 500 kHz activity

It was a noisy night again in NE IL and no doubt many other places. 
WD7XSH/7 was readily decoded on 495.042 kHz WSPR, but the SNR was down 
about 10 dB from usual. WD2XSH/6 was visible on 495.028 kHz sending QRSS 
(now QRSS10 I think but I didn't save a capture or notes). Looked for 
recently active WA2XRM on 480.048 kHz sending QRSS10 and found his "RW" 
with QSB. This prompted a WSPR look for WD2XSH/12 but nothing was seen 
using a dial setting of 494.4 kHz. A signal was noticed on the broader 
SpectraVue waterfall and shifting to 494.5 kHz resulted in some decodes. 
There was a spur on top of the signal initially but as the night wore on 
the signal drifted down and clear in frequency.
