The situation here at W5ZN is the same as Dave's. Way too much lightning
from now until September to keep all of the 160 meter antennas out and
operational.

As we've said before, many of us in NA are fighting not just QRN but
significant attacks from lightning. There a lot of us that are
essentially shut down for the season, my self included (four square
elements are now grounded and the 8 circle is decommissioned). I'm
still QRV somewhat with a 1/4 wave sloping vertical with elevated
radials but deaf as a post much of the time.

Propagation on 160m between this part of Europe and North America
seems to
have been really
poor for several weeks now . . .
RBN reports from across the pond are typically 20dB down on normal
most of
the time . . . and hear very few NA stations on the band.
Not sure why that is . . .
