After sunset I tuned to 1750 m in hopes of seeing a hint of WM, and got a 
bonus.

Didn't recognize WM at all at the beginning, when I started out in QRSS60. 
The mark and space frequencies were so far apart that I couldn't recognize 
them as part of the same signal.

Once I was confident I was seeing SIW's QRSS60 "W," I cranked up QRSS30 Slow 
to be able to get the faster ID clearly too.  I saw the two separated WM 
frequencies there, too, and still didn't recognize them--but I did wonder a 
bit.

Then, to maybe catch SJ later this evening, I started up a 20 second screen 
(just kidding, of course; with Argo, 30 sec Normal instead of Slow has to 
serve the purpose) and suddenly it was evident the two mystery traces were 
part of the same signal.  Unfortunately, that speed is not as sensitive, so 
when both SIW and WM started into a post-sunset fade, WM became 
unrecognizable again.  I'm hopeful it will return now that we're well past 
twilight.
