[SADXA] Summer Fun Activity

[Wes Stewart]

I got every station except K2B on 20-meters.  Interestingly, I got them on 15, a band for which I don't have a resonant antenna.

I've been hampered by the threat of thunderstorms that have me disconnected a lot and a local RFI that has just cropped up.

The power company RFI guys says it's not them (and I believe him) but something else.  Whatever it is, it's intermittent and wipes out the whole spectrum when it's on.
