Thanks for the report Lyle. I'm glad to hear there is some Western
radiation
I think that's just about when the drizzle turned to rain here.

Hi Mitch,

For several days didn't see any signals at 137 or 185, but wasn't
expecting much.

Last night afer work I turned Argo on and saw MP solid copy at 6:30P on
that 10-foot 1-turn loop, NE-SW. Only noticed slight other lines about
MP.

Later, abt 7:30P I switched to the Vert and copy picked up. But now the
T part is only 25 feet high at center. The winds of last weekend flipped
the 3-wire flat top and may have loosed the north guying. So I got out a
tall ladder and taller pole and was able to unflip the thing. Yesterday
a new front came through and dried out most of the wetness. The air
seemed very light and dry.

Throughout the night/morning I checked the screen and MP always there.
At 3A MP solid copy

The last time at 7A, MP was not as strong and getting choppy, but best
copy on the Vert. The Vert also picks up the lines best, though none
were near MP.

So it was that MP was in for the full 12 hours overnight.
