[Lowfer] Tuesday Afternoon in the Field

I went out again around 3:00 yesterday afternoon (Thursday) and got HiFERs 
MP, NC, and USC visually, plus EH by ear.

While checking out my wheat crop and various landscaping needs later in the 
afternoon, I captured MP at 137.78, and later WMS at 185.3.  Static was down 
considerably from the previous days, but still enough to limit me to only 
those two stronger signals, and WMS was broken up enough to make the 
identification questionable.

Just after 5 PM CDT, I went back to 22 meters but the band was thoroughly 
dead in all directions--except for wherever the general 13558-13562 kHz 
racket comes from, and a bit of lightning static from about 50 miles to the 
north-northeast.

Didn't get back from my tractor buying expedition in time to listen today. 
I will be on either a generator hunt or a water tank expedition tomorrow, 
but if the possible rain and/or thunderstorms hold off long enough, I'll 
probably try to listen about mid-day.
