Bob, Dex,
In the morning, the carrier from
Dex on 74323 became also clearly visible in the 0.95 mHz spectrogram.
So I tried to rescan the recorded files with a lower detection threshold just to
see how close it was (a sort of deep deep search ;-).
Using opds.ini
parameters
thresholddbcor=11.5
'minimum correlation peak height; default 15 dB,
ns1=2 'less
smoothing during carrier detection, more sensitive for stable
signals; default 5 bins,
and pruning out false detections on other frequencies,
I ended up with 2 more spots for Bob and 3 for Dex:

In past sessions,
there were still weak DCF77 artifacts exactly on whole Hz frequencies. Even
though these were not obvious in the higher noise last night, Dex' carrier might
still have been slightly impeded. This could be cured by a small offset eg.
moving 0.1 Hz down.
Best 73,
Markus (DF6NM)
