LF conditions were decent again here.

Decoded clock information from DCF77 on 77.5 kHz around 0230Z and also 
from JJY on 40 kHz around 0830Z.

Lowfer TAG took a bit over 30 minutes to decode the Wolf transmission on 
185.8 kHz:

Noted lowfer BR as usual with audible CW on 185.568 kHz around 1200Z and 
earlier saw traces of WMS on 185.3014 kHz (0645Z).

137 kHz was filled with big signals in the evening from MP, XGJ, XES, 
and NA. The attached capture is noisy due to greater than usual 60-Hz 
harmonic racket. Hopefully that won't be a permanent "feature".

Finally, 518 kHz Navtex produced decodes from Kodiak, AK (1140Z) and 
Tofino, BC (0910Z), among the usual sources. Noticed very deep QSB on 
those two western stations but signals stayed up minutes at a time so 
decodes were possible.
