Excellent work, Mark!

I listened again from a little before 9:00 to nearly 10:00 PM tonight, and 
had great success with RY.  This time, however, nothing was seen of NC.

There were a couple of times I thought I might be seeing something from 
AZ/NDB (the former being his QRSS3 ident and the latter his conventional CW 
version), but there was a carrier less than a Hertz away that was mighty 
strong here.

I'm lucky to have good signal from WWV 10 MHz most of the time for 
calibration.  Only rarely do I experience Doppler effects on that frequency, 
but 15 can get awfully messy.  (I seldom hear 20 MHz at all, except once in 
a while faintly from Hawaii... although today Fort Collins was doing 
splendidly on 20 as well for a change.)  Anyway, I'm glad to be able to use 
10 MHz regularly here.  After nulling the soundcard error in Argo itself, 
using the 440, 500 and 600 Hz tones from WWV, the error that remains is 
solely due to the receiver master oscillator, which is convenient to 
calculate with a 10 MHz reference.
