Big storms across the SE made for a noisy night on LF here. Nonetheless, 
as the night wore on the noise dropped and Navtex propagation was rather 
good. The west coast was in early with Long Beach, CA first decoded at 
0506Z. Prince Rupert, BC decoded at 0830Z and Torfino, BC decoded at 
1159Z. But propagation to the east had to be decent too because 
Upernavik/Disko Island, Greenland also decoded at 0920Z.

Just before local sunrise looked at JJY on 40 kHz. It was strong enough 
to phase lock but not strong enough to decode with the MultiPSK Clock 
routine.
