K1VR:  Funny you should mention this.  I was thinking the same thing. The
past three days static to the West (H40AA and AB hunting) has been
fiercer than I remember.  I think it is just that there's usually a storm
to the south and I'm looking at EU, but the map has been lotsa rain for
2000 miles to the West lately, and I'm looking West.
