Nice catch J.B.! I listened all night but found conditions rather poor.
Got area 4 decodes from stations A,B,C,E,G,I,N,P,Q,R, and U. The
Greenland station I transmissions during the 0920Z window were good, but
nothing was seen from M and W. Decoded 7 messages beginning 0748Z from
area 12, station W in Oregon but barely copied station C once and got
nothing from station Q. Decoded some text from station D in Tofino, BC
at 0541Z but not the ID. Switched to 490 kHz for the 1100Z window of
station S in Iqaluit, NU but only saw idle tones briefly, no ID, not
even a "no message" message. At 1110Z back on 518 kHz nothing was seen
from station T. But good to know it's still QRV.
