Tnx Larry.  I grabbed a copy of your screen on NC's first appearance. 
Think I will slide down a few 0.1s Hz to give MP a little more room.

Just now experiencing one of those rare, at least to me, dry snow static
build ups.  When I was a kid, just before a snow, I reached for the
connector of my wire antenna.  An arc about half an inch long reached
for my hand.  Microseconds later I stood there hurting and dumbfounded. 
My first experience with dry snow static. My 160 meter dipole is fed
with open wire to the base of the tower where it presently connects to a
short length of 7/8 inch Heliax coming into the shack.  The connector is
now arcing from the unterminated center pin to ground of the Heliax UHF
Female. <a few min later>  Now I got light!  Nice glow from a NE2!  This
condition probably isn't rare up north but it is here in southern NC.

NC now giving 185.299 Hell!
