I have to reluctantly miss the Spring Stew. All of my gear is operational, but but I have huge amounts of RFI from grow lights. One source is 0.75 miles South of me, while source #2 is 1.08 miles NE of me and in line with Europe. My noise floor has increased by 22-35 dB depending on how may grow lights are on at any given time. I can only work very strong and loud stations. IT is so frustrating knowing that all of my efforts to build an effective receiving setup has been thwarted by a number of related actions. Just listening to the cacophony of square waves is enough to give anyone a headache in just a few minutes.

The grow lights have been a disaster for me, and, with marijuana legalized in my state, there are new sources popping up all the time.
