J.B., being closer to the west coast helped on 518 kHz Navtex here last 
night. Got decodes from area 4 stations A,B,C,E,F,G,H,N,P,R, and U; and 
from area 12 stations C,Q, and W. Still relatively cold here with -5F 
overnight and perhaps that helped too.

474.2 kHz WSPR was quite active and got plenty of west coast decodes. 
But unlike Mike, did not decode WG2XSV. Haven't done that for quite some 
time now. Nice to see a new station (WH2XQC) active.

The good conditions still didn't yield any Navtex decodes of area 12 
stations D and H in BC, or J/X in AK. It doesn't help that area 4 
stations C and G send way past their 10 minute windows.
