Just in time for the spring thunderstorms, lol. We've had a rough couple of
years with an extended illness of a close family member, and my normal LF
signal reports have been absent. That is behind me now, and I'm starting to
re-engage in my various hobbies. Yesterday, I put my LF listening station
back together and was happy to note that my active antenna, which has been
outside, mostly unused, for two years still worked fine. Was able to copy
the usual local NDBs in the middle of the day, WWVB booming in as usual, as
well as the military MSK stations at VLF. Got Argo reinstalled on the new
computer I put together a while back.

Are there any Lowfers still active that I might try to copy?

How are things going on the new LF amateur radio bands? What modes are
being actively used on those bands? I got my "okey dokey" clearance from
the power company to transmit from my QTH, but haven't taken any steps
toward that goal as of yet.
