Have uploaded all the spots from last night and this morning to WSPRnet now. 
Will discuss the unique ones further this evening...must return to the field 
and try to get the building levelled before this evening's rains. 
Eventually stopped seeing XJM and XSH/12 but XIQ showed up with quite a nice 
signal.

I tried tuning over to SIW in time to capture the change of 
frequencies/modes at 1800, but I was a little late doing so.  I suspect the 
switch was early today.  At 3 minutes before the top of the hour, I hoped I 
might see a smidgen of the QRSS signal on 185.2993 before the transition, 
but never did.  When I looked at the 185.185 capture, however, I saw that I 
already had a slant-mode "I" and was starting into a "W" just after the top 
of the hour.  Pretty fair signal, and relatively low QRN...around S1 most of 
the time, and just a few pops up to about S9 every so often.

I'll continue capturing a while to see if there is a mid-afternoon 
enhancement and then a fade, as there was last week.  Then I'll quickly look 
in on MP and the HiFERs (that band was totally dead last night), and resume 
watching 630 m.
