Impressive decodes JB! Sorry I was out of town that night. Conditions to 
AK must have been great. I see Andy decoded WE2XPQ on 474.2 kHz wspr too.

I returned to find snow on the ground here and conditions definitely 
perking up. When I monitored 518 kHz Navtex last night Greenland came 
through from 2 stations (I and W). W in particular was impressive around 
1140Z as it was strong enough to capture over Astoria out west. Stations 
noted from area 4 were A,B,C,E,F,G,H,I,N,R,U,and W. Area 12 stations 
included C,D,Q, and W. Tofino, BC was probably in there too but 
underneath Wiarton, ON, as perhaps was Curacao. I saw a signal key up 
around 0930Z consistent with station J in Kodiak, AK but it was "fuzzy" 
and too weak to decode.
