[Lowfer] storm damage

[JD]

>>> Best I can tell WMS is still on.

Have no fear, it's booming in here! :)

...along with fair reception of SIW and traces of WM, for that matter.  The 
curvature is due to the impromptu nature of this listening session, which 
meant the receiver wasn't fully warmed up when I got to the field.  I hadn't 
done any monitoring for a week, spending all my time working on Lowdown 
material.  Now that I'm done with it, I was going to turn in early tonight 
until I read your message, Paul.  Those looked like mighty rough storms on 
radar yesterday night!

As soon as I got to the field I remembered to undo the shorting hook.  So, 
it was a considerable shock to find _nothing_ on 60 kHz but sferics.  Tuned 
up to 77.5 quickly--nothing.  Some of the FSK signals were still present, 
though, so I tuned around some more.  There was JJY on 40 kHz just fine, and 
my reference NDBs all seemed normal, so I decided it wasn't the antenna or 
radio...but there was nothing at all to be heard from Europe on LF, and 
apparently WWVB was off for maintenance right then.  Had me spooked for a 
little while.
