J.B. & All: EAR as received this afternoon, several dB better SNR than past 2 days with the QRN and solar/geomag activity... https://www.dropbox.com/s/eq9nq1s22lxr8ij/septear.jpg?dl=0 12 to 15 dB above noise my best guess. The light carrier just above EAR makes it a bit difficult to accurately estimate average background noise in the ARGO waterfall. 73, Mike wa3tts
