Hi Rick, Great captures on VLF recently.
 
There was a new signal on last night apparently testing on 18.6 so I don't  
think
that was NTS from Australia that you heard. Several people reported hearing 
 it
very strongly in Europe last night/early morning and I heard it myself here 
 for
about 10 minutes and then it signed off at the top of the hour. It sounded  
very 
similar to me to one of the Russian RDL stations. It was sending an RTTY  
idle tone when I heard it.
 
I don't think I have ever heard NTS on 18.6 or if I did it must have been  
years ago.
If it is on the air it is too weak for me to hear it.
