Mike, nice captures, but they'd be more useful if you entered your RX 
dial frequency as the offset in ARGO's setup -> calibration. That way 
even if you drift a bit we'll have direct knowledge of the actual 
frequency. No such luck here on an 1159 km path to WI. Looked last 
evening with 3 different antennas (2 eprobes and a shielded loop) and 
best copy was still just some weak traces. Didn't do much better with SJ 
and TAG, though there was the usual near local sunrise boost. Currently 
I'm looking at Puerto Rico on 518 kHz Navtex. They're now back to 
English after broadcasting a message in Spanish.
