Late evening WSPR copy of WD2XSH/7 and /12 with tuning dial at6 494.4 
kHz was quite good so changed to 504.0 kHz and looked for VX9BDQ. No 
luck with that but pre-sunrise decoded DGPS station #907 in BC on 320 
kHz. Conditions west were only so-so though. West coast DGPS stations in 
WA, OR, and NV decoded but nothing from CA. Also, NDB MOG on 404 kHz 
wasn't detectable.

On the HF side of things 10 meter WSPR was excellent to Australia at 
sunset and as I'm writing this the band is already open to Europe and 
Africa.

Thanks Paul for the frequency pointer to HSA. I moved my ARGO window up 
and looked again but still saw nothing. A note on the lwca message board 
indicates WD2XFJ is running high power from CA on 183.3 kHz. However it 
appears only normal CW is transmitted so not surprised at finding 
nothing there either. Hopefully both signals will appear as winter kicks in.
