Rick, Todd, and David,

Glad others enjoyed the good VLF conditions too.

Boy, I sure made some typos. Yes, 16.4 kHz is JXN. Also, since it was 
evening the signal on 21.1 kHz was RDL (I have 2 stations logged there 
and for some reason picked the second one in the Pacific). I can measure 
frequency accurately too, but years ago when I entered NAU in my WWSU63 
database I used 40.8 kHz. I do have 40.75 kHz noted in the comments 
section.

Listening later I noted a second frequency of NRK at 57.4 kHz and as 
sunrise neared CFH showed up on 73.6 kHz. Never noticed CKN on 76.2 kHz 
although conditions to the west weren't bad. DGPS on 321 kHz from 
Lompoc, CA was strong and NDB NY on 350 kHz from BC was decent. Managed 
to decode VX9BDQ on 504 kHz Opera around then too when I looked briefly, 
though SNR was only -28 dB if I recall right. John was doing better to 
Laurence's receiver in Alaska.
