[Lowfer] No joy at the Rat Pack Party

[Ashlock,William]

Les,

"Serious static crashes continually pumped the AGC action on Argo, rendering

the entire evening useless for weak signal work. Faint traces of NC were 
visible, but nothing like last night's strong path. Quick check of NDB hot
list revealed that path to New England was not great. Let's try again Friday
night."

Well, maybe in a more 'mature' fashion!

"Also, for Steve McDonald, I need to know if you'd like to take another shot

at receiving XM on QRSS60 this coming weekend. I'm going to be out of town,
so it will be
easy enough to leave it running. If, however, you're also going to try for
the "Rat Pack" on 185.3, I may just leave Argo running all weekend and hope
for the best."

"Thanks for the effort boys, but I doubt it any real DX happened last
night..."

Speaking strictly for myself - I DID place a few more pins in my coverage
map; so it wasn't all madness. Thanks again to all the responders.

"those storms must have raised QRN levels nationwide."

What's the national forecast looking like tonight?

Bill WA
