Figured Jay would copy XDW this morning as it was in all night here 
fairly well. The DFCW was just below 185.298 kHz for the dashes (high) 
and 0.1 Hz lower for the dits, which had blank spaces between them.

On a separate issue, 137 kHz signals overnight included MP (strong 
QRSS30 at 137.7804 kHz), XKO (extremely strong QRSS60 at 137.7776 kHz), 
and TIL (DFCW at 137.778 kHz for dits and +0.25 Hz for dashes). XKO was 
so strong it hampered ARGO copy of TIL. It also mixed with MP to give IM 
traces.

Sunrise conditions here were good to the west with NDB LLD on 353 kHz 
coming in weakly at +402 Hz and Navtex $12O, Honolulu seen on the 
waterfall (but not strong enough to decode).
