Mike,

Thanks for the captures. See SIW is still hanging in there on 185.185 
kHz this morning, despite the -10F temperature. Haven't seen MP for 
awhile so perhaps the weather has it down at the moment. WM is coming in 
well now that daylight has returned. It did fine overnight too but only 
company seen here at the lowfer watering hole was SJ.

Didn't notice any sunrise advantage here - the 3 US west coast Navtex 
stations on 518 kHz decoded, but that's normal. Nothing noted from 
Greenland. NDBs indicated good propagation to the south (GPI on 309 kHz 
was in all night and Panama "901" decoded on 302 kHz DGPS), but nothing 
was detected was the Chile Navtex stations. VLF had a nice array of 
signals in the evening but 77.5 and 162 kHz clock signals were weak.
