This was a tough one to compress!  It's later Sunday night, with static 
still regularly S7-S9 with excursions from S3 to S9+10 on 137, and S5-S8 
with excursions above S9 on 185 kHz.  The 137 capture is actually two 
separate Argo instances (the lower one running lower sensitivity to keep XKO 
from "blooming" any worse), stitched together so as to keep time and 
frequency in step with each other.  Before sunset, VO1NA was showing up very 
faintly, and still was present from time to time between 10 PM and 1 AM CDT. 
It was too broken up by these higher level signals to read more than the 
occasional "N" or "A," or up to half of the longer characters at any one 
time.

After that, I watched 185.3 for a while.  WMS was strong up to about 2 AM, 
then faded significantly.  Later, I got adventurous and tried for EAR, with 
the result you see at bottom.
