I found similar conditions here in central Indiana, except the static seemed
to come in waves. While trying to work 5V7A, the QRN was almost in
sync with his signal. When he came up to readable strength, the QRN
was short to follow, add a few stations that insisted on calling him on his
frequency. So, no luck last night, maybe tonight.
