I live about 30 minutes from George, but have no other information than what is here thus far.   As the local news is updated I will share anything worth sharing. 

George helped me a lot in my early pirate DXing days, and we emailed and called each other somewhat often about various topics.  My first invite to Winterfest was from him, but with young kids at the time I did not get there.

Hey there.   Thanks for checking!   I didn't do much SWL over the past many months - almost a year.   Between work and a new out-of-town grandson, a couple family weddings, and a couple business trips thrown in I took some time off tuning the bands.    Still don't have a lot of spare time but gradually getting back into it.

Computer was off last night I'm so posting now.  Had this at about S6, with some better peaks.  Lots of noise as we had "thunder snow" in the region.
