Doug, thanks for the nice captures. Saw SJ,WM, and SIW fine here but
only got a hint of TAG while you were seeing good copy.
Overnight propagation here was good to the East and lousy to the West.
Didn't decode a single West coast station on 518 kHz Navtex but Bermuda,
Curacao, and Puerto Rico were fine. So were stations I and M in
Greenland and even saw $02I in the Canary Islands, though some other
station has been sending high tone continuously, making decodes
difficult for the weaker stations. Have pointed out this kind of problem
to the Coast Guard in the past but it persists. No one seems to care
about checking their equipment to make sure it's working correctly.
