Nice, quiet night here near Chicago. Monitored 518 kHz Navtex with an
eprobe and 474.2 kHz WSPR with a loop.
Decoded 12 stations on Navtex, 10 in east coast area 4
(A,B,C,E,F,G,H,N,R,U) and 2 in west coast area 12 (C and Q). Astoria
might be off the air because both Long Beach and San Francisco had good
signal strength.
On WSPR VE7BDQ had best signals seen so far since last spring. WD2XSH/12
and /20 both decoded fairly often but were stepping on each other as
both transmitted on 475.680 kHz. The usual closer stations were quite
strong, with WG2XJM hitting 10 dB SNR on occasion. That's about as high
as I ever see here from anyone, even on HF.
