Bob, your signal was easy armchair copy when I checked this evening (a 
couple of different times between 0300 and 0400), generally 45 dB above 
background!  That would have been ample for high quality voice!

Also heard WD2XSH/6 beaconing on 495.028 in both QRSS3 and slow Morse in 
that same general time frame.  Had to turn Argo's sensitivity way, way down 
for that one, too.

I then watched the transatlantic window at 136 khz for a while, but only got 
some broken QRSS-like keying at 136.172 kHz.  Up at the North American end, 
MP was blasting away and VO1NA was there with "NA" IDs having a little 
longer delays between them than I remember being usual.  Both of these guys' 
signal levels were pretty consistent.

At the 185.3 watering hole, WMS was absent as advertised.  Still no HSA 
here, though.  SIW was there with a bit of fading, and WM would be strong 
for one or two cycles, then absent for a few...very deep fading.  Iceland's 
carrier and sidebands made EAR too difficult for me tonight.  By midnightm I 
was too sleepy to stay up any longer, unfortunately.
