[Lowfer] LF signals over night

[Garry Hess]

Had good propagation to South America last night. NDB GPI in Columbia on 
309 kHz has been coming in regularly, but was stronger than usual. BOG 
in Columbia on 340 kHz came in well too as did PAL in Ecuador on 365 kHz 
and SLS also in Ecuador on 415 kHz. Haven't copied SLS for a good while. 
Looked for LAT on 260 kHz to no avail.

But checking 260 kHz was productive because logged CL on USB and the 
repeat period of GHJ there. Those weren't new NDBs but later CX near 
Harrisburg, PA was. That's a hard one to copy because AY is at nearly 
the same frequency with nearly the same repeat period. Noticed on 474.2 
kHz WSPR that WG2XJM from Pennsylvania was extremely strong and that was 
the clue that copying CX might be possible.

Speaking of WSPR, VE7BDQ and WH2XGP made their usual good showing but no 
luck with WG2XSV and WH2XND apparently wasn't active last night.

518 kHz Navtex was dull with only west coast decodes from Astoria coming 
through on two transmission windows.
