This weekend along the eastern seaboard may bring some decent band condx.
Let the aether evolve ...
Summer static season may be just about over...

Sure enough Paul, 

It barely reached 60 here today.  It's supposed to stay cold through tomorrow, and tonight, we have frost warnings!  I'm hoping this will keep the noise down.  I have the SX-96 warming up as I write this.  I feel sorry for my parents.  They're camping in a moter home up near the tip of the Door Peninsula (here in Wisconsin), in a motorhome. Yes it has a furnace, but according to both my mom and my dad, it still gets kind of cold in it.

I am sitting here listening to some 3s and 4s on 3.6 something (upper end) and they have reasonable signals.  However there is a lot of static that covers them so I can't recover the audio.

I was on 3710 last night with Don, K4KYV. I thought the band noise would have been subdued. But last night it was heavily loaded with static crashes. Not the kind that would give you a headache but nasty enough to make copy somewhat difficult.
