J.B., hope you got some more T/A Navtex stations on 518 kHz tonight 
because conditions were excellent. Missed area 1, station K during the 
0140Z window, but caught it during the 0540Z window thanks to New 
Orleans G powerhouse going ZZZZ just in time. That was followed by area 
1, station P in Holland at 0546Z (not per the schedule I have but in 
there nicely for one short message), then area 1, station L in Norway 
during the 0550Z window. At 0600Z Greenland station M came through with 
a nice, succinct "no message on hand". Now station N is blasting through 
with a weather report for the east coast.

Was monitoring DK7FC on 136.172 kHz just before tuning to 518 kHz at 
0538Z and Stefan was still coming through well. The time station DCF77 
on 77.5 kHz is also still decoding with MultiPSK/Clock.

All in all a great night and there's plenty of time left as it's only 
midnight
