Garry: Yes, the long message on TH does make it a challenge to capture an ID
when the fading is short interval. Being closer seems to help as I seem to
be just far enough away for a 1-hop D or E layer path.   Not much overnight
here on WSPR2 with nothing heard from NW or XCR on 630.  XND was 10dB weaker
than normal but I still managed 100 or so XND captures overnight.  The
freezing rain made for higher atmospheric noise here overnight on both
630/2200m

73, Mike tts
