We had those conditions Friday night. Talking with K5NA, both of us cut the
operation short at that time. It was impossible to hear anything but very
loud signals. Richard said the conditions early Friday were tolerable until
propagation opened up between here and a storm system to the SE of here in
Austin. By Saturday morning early, things were much better and stayed good
the rest of the weekend.

If any of you are wondering why we in the central US seem particularly
deaf this weekend, it's because of the terrific QRN from a huge storm
system. Friday night it was centered over Oklahoma, and tonight (Sat.) it
is over central Illinois. It is moving very slowly to the east, so I doubt
things will improve much before sunrise.
