Navtex signals from the west coast were good here too last night. In 
area 4, only decoded stations A,B,E,F,G,N,R, and U but Puerto Rico was 
in quite early (gear was tuned to 518 kHz around 2300Z and messages were 
already coming in). Area 12 produced many messages from US stations C, 
Q, and W and even got a ZCZC header from station D in British Columbia. 
Astoria was extremely busy, sending 14 messages near local sunrise 
(1148-1203Z).

Down at VLF, the Alpha stations were coming through the best so far this 
listening season.
