Just re-connected antennas after storms here; waterfall still lighting up all shades of orange and red.

Can hear presumed PBS through heavy QRN; maybe it will clear.  

0120 Hearing Holmes from time to time in near continuous lightning noise - PBS is around S9+3
0139 Pres ID with reverb, and into new agey mx
0200 off

Thanks for the show!
