Good catches for today.

The air is dead here for south and east (SW rockin' - Asian fishing traffic and WWVH are all 30-over though :o)

Peace!

Yeah, that was all I heard, I tried for every beacon I know of. Not a single one of the 4096 cluster was coming in. A was a lot weaker than usual, as well.
