Jay, catching $12O, Honolulu is rather special these days because $04N, 
Chesapeake, VA is so long-winded. Fortunately it shut up last night in 
time to decode message OA30 here, time-stamped 1029Z by SeaTTY. Didn't 
pick up $12J but that's a good sign that maybe propagation to AK will 
return to winter normal. Did decode West coast stations Q and W, but not 
C (usually stepped on by $04C back East) and not D and H in Canada. 
Bermuda came in well with Puerto Rico and decoded one of the Greenland 
stations ($04M).

Meanwhile on the NDB front, since conditions were good to the West 
looked for TCY in CA on 203 kHz, LSB. Never saw it, or COR on 205 kHz, 
but 201 kHz, IP in AZ came through well on USB.
