Sorry I didn't see your notice right away, but got some decodes 
anyway using E-probe.

Your LF signal here was very audible much of the time (even in 2.5 
KHz USB bandwidth), but for some reason WSPR-X didn't decode all the 
transmissions (it did upload the ones it liked).  The non-decodes 
appeared just as strong on the waterfall display, timing was correct, 
etc.  I hadn't observed that phenom in WSPR-2 mode using the same 
program.  One possibility: I re-sync the computer clock every 5 
minutes - not an issue with WSPR-2 but with WSPR-15 there would be 
some clock jumps during every transmission.  Maybe  that confuses WSPR-X?

Thanks for the nice LF signal,
Bill VE2IQ / VE3IQB
