Topband: NA activity CW topband ....................

Same thing here. . . .lightning season is upon us so the elements here on 
the TX array are grounded and the Hi-Z 8 circle array is decommissioned 
(amps at elements removed, elements grounded, phasing/switching electronics 
removed).  I continue to keep my 1/4 wave sloping vertical with elevated 
radials in service during the summer months so I'm not QRT altogether but 
with limited ability to hear.  I feel guilty not being QRV very much as the 
guys in southern hemisphere are always so faithful about being on during 
their summer months.     73. . . Dave, W0FLS

Greetings Nick,

With spring here in the south I have begun taking down all of my  RX
antennas in preparation for hay cutting in the fields plus the severe
lightning we have from spring and summer storms pretty much destroys the
RX antenna components if left out through summer. The QRN/noise level is
high on the TX antenna so my focus has moved to other bands/activity.

I'm sure that's probably the case with a few other "regulars" on the
band as well.
