[RFI] Bad QRN on HF

[Dana Roode]

Thanks everyone, I will spend some more time on this tonight and do a
fresh recording.  It is almost always windy at the remote QTH,
although yesterday much less so than normal.  I dont think this is
thunderstorms, as I have heard the noise most nights for a year or
more.  Im going from memory, so I need to keep some records.
