Thought John might still be transmitting so ran deep search opera 32 
over night. Signals from the west are still relatively poor, but were 
good enough to produce the following decodes:

2015-01-05 11:30:40 VE7BDQ  2784km 137504.760Hz  16mHz -44.6dBOp  95% 18.0dB
2015-01-05 10:13:16 VE7BDQ  2784km 137504.739Hz  13mHz -38.0dBOp 100% 18.0dB
2015-01-05 09:40:30 VE7BDQ  2784km 137504.737Hz  25mHz -43.3dBOp  81% 17.0dB
2015-01-05 09:07:42 VE7BDQ  2784km 137504.715Hz  39mHz -44.0dBOp  90% 17.6dB
2015-01-05 08:34:56 VE7BDQ  2784km 137504.697Hz  82mHz -43.2dBOp  98% 18.2dB
2015-01-05 08:02:08 VE7BDQ  2784km 137504.670Hz   6mHz -40.4dBOp 100% 19.4dB
2015-01-05 06:23:48 VE7BDQ  2784km 137504.681Hz  11mHz -44.0dBOp 100% 18.1dB

That was after a lot of hassle getting the deep search program to run. 
When it was originally used on a Windows XP machine last year it was 
necessary to preclude analysis of the high end of the FFT. Otherwise it 
would halt with warnings in German. Now it wants the full FFT or it 
fails. Go figure. Great thing about Windows - run it twice, get two 
different results.
