Just back from 10 GHz & Above contest activity and after fixing some 
gear that ComEd put to sleep with a power outage and waiting for storm 
noise to subside I turned on the LF gear. A pleasant surprise was seeing 
DGPS #891, Level Is., AK and #939, Partridge Is, NB fading in and out on 
295 kHz. The former runs 100 baud while the latter runs 200 baud so with 
2 versions of software running both could be decoded. Don't see any 
eastern stations listed as heard or hearing for WE2XPQ on 474.2 kHz 
WSPR-2 but perhaps that will soon change.

I see my lowfer is still running  (thanks to SWL/K9 and WA3TTS for 
WSPR-15 decodes) so I think the schedule is 1 day off what I originally 
intended. Will confirm that with Bob, NK9M where the beacon is located 
but I think WSPR-15 is Su,M,W, and F on 185.185 kHz while QRSS30/60 is 
T,Th,Sa on 185.2993 kHz with switch time around 1700Z.

I haven't looked yet for WM but EAR is coming through nicely in daylight 
as usual on 188830.7 kHz.
