[Lowfer] WD2XES Opera32

[Garry]

136 kHz Opera32 activity continued last night with WD2XES active from 
the US. Signals here are down from last year when a SpectraVue waterfall 
regularly showed RTTY pulses from HGA22 and DCF39 and DK7FC often came 
through with DFCW60. Nothing like that this year.

Of course WD2XES being relatively local came through fine. Not as strong 
as WD2XNS the previous evening, but comparable to WD2XNS the night 
before that.

Regular Opera decodes were:
03:22    136 WD2XES Op32 -23 dB   |-------| Fade: 0%
02:25    136 WD2XES Op32 -26 dB   |-------| Fade: 18%
01:20    136 WD2XES Op32 -28 dB   |-------| Fade: 12%
00:10    136 WD2XES Op32 -35 dB   |-------| Fade: 50%

518 kHz Navtex produced decodes from the 3 US West Coast stations but 
nothing from BC. 474.2 kHz WSPR decodes were plentiful from WH2XND to 
the SW but only weak decodes from WH2XGP to the NW and nothing from VE7BDQ.
