Thunderstorms continue, but this morning between 0600Z and 0715Z
powerhouse beacon WEB was noted in and out of the noise on 189.9494 kHz,
QRSS-30 slow. That was impressive since WD2XSH/6 on 505.266 kHz had been
barely detectable until it perked up around midnight and GLS on 206 kHz
was nowhere to be found (perhaps it's OTA). Looked the rest of the
morning for beacon RM but nothing other than a wobbly spur was seen. EAR
is generally coming through the static throughout the day so RM must be
out-of-daylight range and at night just not strong enough to win over QRN.
