Hello Andy,

I was on for a very short time. I worked a few EU stations with incredible signals, 599 with preamp off, on my K3 S-meter. Then the noise built up and static crashes became long and loud. The 6Y5 called me forever and I could not get his call even though I could tell he was loud. The QRN just covered him up so all I got were parts of letters! I turned the rig off when I saw the huge line of storms just to my south.  I had every intention of making a night of it, but the weather (and lightning) got in the way!

I looked at ur QTH on QRZ.com, and saw the farm field used for RX antennas. UFB!  You have fantastic hearing on 160.

hey topbanders,

condx were not bad this morning in EU, worked some NA and a new DXCC 6Y5.
Band was very quiet, but not much activity. 160m season is not finished.
