J.B., interesting how different software timestamps Navtex messages
differently. The 1140Z transmission window from Astoria here using
SeaTTY produced: 11:40:28 WB49; 11:51:48 WA16; 11:53:02 WA57; 11:54:05
WA14; and 11:54:59 WA48.
Earlier in the evening got decodes from San Francisco (08:28:17 CA95;
08:29:19 CA13; and 08:30:09 CA42), Astoria again (07:40:27 WB90;
07:50:01 WA78; 07:51:36 WA10; 07:52:34 WA16; and 07:55:43 WA48), and
Long Beach (06:50:06 QA31). San Francisco also decoded a couple of
messages right at local sunrise.
Not a bad night for DX from the West, but while signals from Prince
Rupert, BC were evident they were never strong enough here last night to
decode.
