Agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm near Kansas City and the plot of the storm on radar showed the surrounded by serious thunderstorms on Friday night.  The rain from the storms had passed by Saturday but the electrical content was still very high.  I'm sure there was a lot of DX to be had but the QRN here lifted the noise floor so far up that even mid strength US stations were tough copy at this QTH.

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.
