QRN Lightning Static received here in Wisconsin is raising my noise floor by
10-20 dB.
Radar shows the storms are in Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas.
Really unusual for this time of year!

Just a few minutes after sending my post about 80 meters sigs, I am now
hearing a few EU stations now on 160, one hour before my SS here in
Arkansas.
Hope this holds up!!
