After a night of below-freezing weather with no precipitation, the balance
of power between RM and WE has shifted again in RM's favor. WE is stronger
than ever this morning, a little over S9, but RM is at least 2 dB stronger.
During the wet weather toward the end of last week, it was the other way
around. Both stations are about 70 miles from me but in different directions
and on different frequencies, so I have to rotate the receiving loop and
tune it carefully to peak the signal on each beacon.

Fairly bright aurora last night here in central Minnesota.
