Noticed this morning that 362  SB  Sudbury  ON had a good signal in here on 362
but also seemed to be negative keying TUV on 363.

Weather / sunshine today !

Nice to see a clear blue sky and bright sunshine for the first time since Monday.
Got 5" of rain over the past 3 days according to the official garden rain gauge.

WHAS coming in here this morning over an hour past sunrise sounding like a local.
Normally not heard here during daytime, my guess is that the widespread rain over
much of OH and MI the past two days has enhanced groundwave reception.

btw, this reception was on a portable in the basement with no external antenna.

Heard sweep tones @ 0422 and 0428 but CKAT "Country 600" North Bay ON is pretty much dominating the frequency here in MI.

WWL has a big signal in here this morning at sunrise on the car radio.
Talking about portable generator safety.
No interference was heard.

Pinto - the supposedly Cuban 'Wobbler' is active on 870 this evening.  I heard it last night, too.

Hmmm... heard a loud warbling signal on 870 last night that sometimes faded a bit to reveal some Spanish.
The RR in Morse was then also audible every minute...  who would want to jam WWL and Reloj

Never did hear WWL last night or this morning.  Are they on the air ?  idk
Apparently most of the area around there is without power due to a downed transmission tower.
Seems odd there is only one feed for a whole city.
Also seems odd WWL wouldn't have a backup generator.  Maybe its just propagation.

Good signal from New Orleans into MI this morning at dawn on the car radio.
Talking about preparations for approaching storm Ida. 
They were on the air all during Katrina with first hand reports to the outside world...
still a place for AM radio.
Hopefully this will turn out to be a non-event, but it could get interesting.

Hmmm, ZQT Thunder Bay...  that's a tough one here for some reason.
Odd because 332 QT usually pounds in here.

NU in the summertime, nice DX...

Otherwise all the eggs keep going in the GPS basket, it's not just NDBs but VORs as well
going away.  Most pilots probably won't complain, it's just too easy to follow a GPS display.
