Title: Quiet weekend coming up?
Post by: k4kyv on April 13, 2005, 06:15:25 PM
According to the local wx forecasters, we just might be in for another QRN-free weekend coming up.  Depends on what is brewing elsewhere on the continent.

From 5:30 until about 6:30 this morning 75 was pretty much static free.  The usual Southwest rountable was at it and I joined in for a period (unusual for me since I normally am asleep at this time).  Stations from Flordia to KC to South Texas were doing fine and signal levels were good.

Seems as if the next storm track is going to be up into Canada and not much attendant lightning.  Keep those receivers warm.

Right now, all of N America looks quiet, with just a few freckles in NM and the far west.  But some substantial shit off the coast of NC.  We'll have to wait and see how it sounds to-night.
