I'm surprised (but pleased) that there hasn't been an uproar over a
station in a Part 15 band being reported there.  Might only be because
there's a ham call associated with it; but in any case, if I'd had any
idea that was now acceptable, I'd have been uploading my daily decodes for
the 10 consecutive days I was monitoring the transitions.

Unfortunately, that run came to an end Tuesday when a miscalculation
resulted in the antenna being knocked off its base insulator as I prepared
to perform some minor maintenance.  It's repairable, but not until we
simultaneously have (a) a VERY calm day, (b) dry enough ground after our
recent flooding, and (c) availability of a helper to reduce the risk of a
repeat mishap.
