VLF clock sources were strong last night. The clock software loaded 
along with MultiPSK decoded transmissions from HBG, 75 kHz (0507Z); 
DCF77, 77.5 kHz (0509Z); TDF, 162 kHz (0511Z); and WWVB, 60 kHz (0514Z). 
Tried to decode JJY on 40 kHz after local midnight but the signals 
wasn't strong enough.

Conditions higher up on 518 kHz Navtex seemed about normal for this time 
of year. Stations decoded were $04U, NS; $04X, NL; $04A, FL; $04F, MA; 
$04H, ON; $04N, VA; $04R, PR; $04C, QC; $12C, CA; $12O, HI; $12Q, CA; 
$12W, OR; $04P, ON; and $04G, LA.

On the lowfer front BR was in well on 185.594 kHz. Locked onto the 
correct frequency for TAG, 185.8 kHz, but failed to decode it.
