That's great!  I just got home -- big storm earlier ... trees down, power 
lines down (not mine :), many parts of town without power.

When I left about 7pm CT the storm was just getting started.  My HiFER 
antenna was swinging in the 60 MPH gusts.  Looked AWFUL!  But I wasn't 
about to touch it ... very close cloud-to-ground lightning.

So I left and thought I'd pick it all up when I got back.

I've not gone out in the backyard yet, but this capture of yours from half 
an hour ago must mean it is still up :)

That sure is a solid signal you captured there -- by the way, I AM keeping 
the power at 2mW or less.  Thanks for the capture.
