Very noisy here also. Early it sounded like someone was crunching paper 
in my ears and with no receive antennas it was painful.  Later when the 
K dropped it sounded a bit better, but still local noise was evident. 
Led xmas lights maybe?

Had a computer problem, time would randomly reset so log is messed up on 
the times.  Used the station call (k8mk) instead of mine this year just 
for fun.  At 5w only dx worked was NP2X, but KV4FZ gave it a good try.  
FM5BH was in mud and didn't hear any EU.
