The last several days WH2XCR in Hawaii on 474.2 kHz WSPR-2 has been
enhanced here at local sunrise. This morning that prompted a look at the
island's NDBs and the usual pair of LLD on 353 kHz and POA on 332 kHz
were nice copy. Checked for others, presumably lower powered, but none
were copied.
518 kHz Navtex was monitored over night but the schedule for area 12,
station O in Hawaii is far from local sunrise. Did decode messages from
the 3 US west coast stations (C, Q, and W) but nothing from the Canadian
BC stations. Interestingly copied 5 short test messages from Bermuda
between 0134Z and 0205Z, well off its usual scheduled times. Perhaps the
recent hurricane did some damage. Anyway, at 0810Z it was back to
sending normal messages (7 decoded).
