J.B., sorry to hear you have line noise problems. Just when LF 
propagation picks up. Sounds like you have plenty of experience tracking 
down the source so hope your reception is back to normal soon.

It did turn out to be a good night for Greenland Navtex on 518 kHz. 
After area 4 station M decoded at 0200Z station W decoded at 0740Z and 
station I decoded at 0920Z for a clean sweep. That was with a loop aimed 
at 30 degrees. Despite that, station R in Puerto Rico decoded too, as 
did area 12 stations C and Q. Interestingly, didn't get any decodes from 
area 4 station X in Labrador. Saw some text at one point but no ZCZC X.
