Interesting about the lack of DX. My most recent trip to the field on Sunday night yielded WM and SIW quite strong at times, but with longer fades than in previous seasons. WH2XXP remains a nighttime regular, but with fades capable of wiping out a character or two at a time. EAR has only been coming through with one or two solid, complete IDs during the wee hours. No sign here yet of TAG or SJ, nor XIL either. I can't find any indication of increased QRM locally, and WWVB remains as strong as ever here. QRN rose a bit between 8 PM and midnight, but not to the levels that would usually obliterate EAR. In early afternoon Monday, I saw WM fine, but it was apparently after the transition time for SIW. I had a second instance of Argo running on 185.185 and never saw anything I could identify as Garry's signal. (At first I thought I was seeing WSPR-15 about a hertz high, but it turned out to be an SMPS spur.) I've had trouble with 185.185 for the past couple of seasons, for unknown reasons. John
