Thanks for the proof of life logs on MD and CX.  I have been trying to relog these w/o luck, and since they had not been reported for 8 or 9 months I was beginning to wonder if...

GTN 323 still on?  Again not reported since last February, and I have not been able to get this this season so far.

It was when I last checked in October, it blocks several west coast DGPS stations. But I am listening now... and not hearing it! Yay!  And I am hearing a DGPS transmission... not getting any decodes yet, however.

Well, it *sounds* like DGPS. Weird that it is not decoding.

Let me update that GTN report... I listened some more, and it sounds like a carrier, although with some warbling? It looks pretty wide on the SDR for just an unmodulated carrier. But too narrow for even 100 baud DGPS. Maybe GTN is failing. Shucks darn  8)
