[Lowfer] WSPR2 in SE Kansas overnight

The WSPR sessions starred XXM (almost don't need a radio for that one) and 
XIQ, with co-stars XKA, XJM, and XCT, plus special guest appearances by 
WG2XPJ, VE7BDQ and WD2XSH/20.  (Is XSH/20 still N6LF, or has he moved and 
that designator been re-assigned?)

To begin with, I started the evening the same way I did Saturday night, 
watching MP on 137.708 kHz for a few hours in case anybody unexpectedly 
decided to join in, since we had relatively low static for a couple of 
nights.  No such luck.

Switched up to 630 m at 0322 last night and ended up staying there the 
remainder of the night, except for a few 2-minute interruptions at the top 
of the hour (trying to hear if the mystery HiFER gave any clue to its 
location during the local break, but the only time I had good enough signal 
[1 AM CDT], they did not cut away but simply used the 1920s Radio Network 
fill).

I started out with unclipped audio, and got good copy of XXM and XIQ as 
usual.  Static had picked up somewhat, though, so I didn't decode anyone but 
the two "locals."  Beginning at 0406, I changed to hard clipping and started 
getting other folks too, as you see in the trimmed capture list below.  The 
first two were XKA (0408 and 0412) and XJM (0410 through 0724), then XPJ 
(only one time at 0424).  The one time for WD2XSH/20 was the 0456 slot. 
Later, BDQ showed up once (0540).  XCT first appeared in the 0904 slot and 
made its final appearance in the 1004 slot.

XIQ's final decode was the 1204 slot, still about as strong as it had been. 
According to the waterfall display, XXM apparently shut down not quite 
halfway through the 1246 slot, and did not decode that time.  I still had an 
S7 signal from him in daylight right up until then.
