I think the reason you didn't hear many/any other W's calling was 
because there was a LARGE line of thunderstorms parked off the east 
coast at that time.  You guys must have been far enough away from the 
lightning that it wasn't as bothersome as it was here. I saw the 
spots and listened for them, but heard nothing, not even the 
Europeans calling.  They would have had to have been VERY loud to 
make it through all that QRN.

The lightning strike map looks clearer now.  Hopefully tonight will be better.
