Mike & All: Fairly good copy on WM from about 1000 through 1900 UTC....set of 8 captures in this Dropbox folder

Click on the first capt00041 image and use the right ((>)) navigation arrow to view subsequent frames.
RX IF was split overnite but around 1540 UTC (capt00045) I switched to a single IF RX and also switched to my 300kHz LPF.
I turned the visual gain/sens down to 50/50 at that time and that was a bit to low. About 1608 UTC (capt00046) I went to visual settings of
53/53 which seemed to pull WM through OK. Again these captures were on my NW EWE antenna, which is
about 50 degrees off axis from my WM heading and about 2dB down on the antenna pattern....SIW can be seen starting at 1830 UTC and
the signal level captured used as a comparative reference...By the time SIW started up WM was fading....although WM still lightly visible here at 1942 UTC
with SIW up to -68 range....
