J.B., it was quiet on LF here over night and the western WSPR-2 stations 
on 474.2 kHz decoded nicely (WH2XXP, WH2XGP, VE7SL, and VE7CNF). 
Listened to around 2 am local time and then tuned down to 73.5 kHz where 
WH2XND produced a plenty of decodes. The best SNR was only -23 dB so 
there's plenty of room for upward movement as winter approaches.

Pleasant surprise as local sunrise neared was decoding DGPS #909 on 309 
kHz from Alert Bay, BC. That's a new one for me, thanks to the 
decommissioning of #850 in SD and #835 in MI. From sunset through most 
of the night  #870, Reedy Point, DE and #927, Lauzon, QC fight it out. 
But they fade before sunrise and at least this morning let Alert Bay 
come through.

Incidentally, EAR is coming in nicely via QRSS30 around 188830.7 Hz as 
usual.
