518 kHz Navtex decodes here are still rather meager. Overnight decoded 
area 4 stations A,B,E,F,H,N,P, R, and U and area 12 station Q. Notable 
by it's absence was area 4 station G in New Orleans. At least it wasn't 
pinned on continuously sending high tones like it has often been. Area 4 
stations A and N made up for the clear air left by G's absence by 
sending messages well past their 10 minute limit. The former made for 
difficulty decoding Bermuda, station B, but one message made it through. 
Nice to see Puerto Rico, station R, again after missing it for several 
weeks. Conditions from the west continue to be poor (NDB NY in BC was 
barely visible using QRSS3) so it was nice to see area 12, station Q 
decode a number of times.
