Hi All: Turned on my receiver and PC around 4pm and setup on 185.185 kHz with high gain and contrast in ARGO to see if I could
capture any SIW fragments.  Came back awhile later to reset things after the warm up interval and it looked like what might be a fairly solid
SIW signal.  Backed off the gain and contrast some an it looks like I snagged  the I W  and then perhaps an S.  Went to the propagation 
page online and noticed the double hump C-class solar flare in progress corresponding with the 185 kHz enhancement.

Then I setup on 136.172 kHz after a cal and waited for sunset. Seems like the propagation gods threw the T/A switch 
right after sundown....
