Last night was dismal other than some 30 M action.  80 and 160 very poor.  This morning they were heard here on 17 CW first around 1130, also heard 15 SSB the best band, and 12 CW..  This is the first time I have heard them on 17 and think it is because they put up a vertical dipole array like the did on 15.  I never heard them with their beams on either of those band so hopefully they can put up more of them.  They were on 15 RTTY but no copiable here so maybe they had the beam on RTTY and the array on SSB.  They were easy on 15 SSB working lots of 4s. 12 M CW was the next strongest band with 17 CW being a little lower.  Everything was gone by a little after 1300.  15 SSB was the last to fade out with 12 and 17 going by 1245.  Storm front moving in for the next two day weather wise so QRN on the low bands will be possibly worse than it has been if that is possible.
