>>> Will continue looking from time to time, expecting to see something 
if EH is strong (as it usually is).

Sure is!

Small thunderstorms started building up within 50 miles this afternoon, 
so the S9+ noise became continuous and MP faded away into it.  
Switching back to HF, EH was welding-goggle intensity for a while--and 
while it was, there on the two Argo Build 143 windows were ghosts of 
EH, 120 Hz above and below the main signal.  They were way down from 
the carrier, but the carrier was so strong, the hum was visible too, 
part of the time.

I was using a wider IF filter than usual to watch for 'A' 
simultaneously with the watering hole crowd.  As for the latter, the 
only others showing up this afternoon were NC and USC.  Still no luck 
with A, though.  Up the dial a bit, MTI and PBJ were both visible on 
Argo, only 2 Hz or a little less apart. Eventually MTI became audible 
for a little while.  Nobody else seen or heard.  By then, the 
thunderheads were looking a little close for comfort, so I packed up 
for the day.
