Well no mystery signal heard/seen in N.E.Collin County thus far.

My 160m Inv-L which I usually use for RX is laying in the yard at the
moment so I've been using the 30m 1/4wl vertical. It doesn't work as good
but doesn't seem to have any problems hearing K5DNL or KE7A whopper WSPR
signals.


I'll watch for it over the next several days. Hopefully I can get the Inv-L
back in the air this weekend.

73,
