Comments

Competitive rates during the first 12 hours followed by local thunderstorms and a high noise floor for the rest of the weekend. A few times lightning hits were so close I had to take some unscheduled off-times during 20m prime time. Others did not seem to be affected as much by thunderstorm QRN as they could keep going.
