Morning temp at 54 degrees locally and nearby Mojave Deserts are 14 to 17 degrees cooler.

2097.300KHz  "A" beacon is on frequency where I usually receive it and peaking in strength at times 10 dB above local noise floor

7509.200 KHz. russian letter beacon F weak but readable

Local temp at 58 degrees. Much lower noise floor today, about -110 to -120 dBm. I suspect one of the neighbor's solar panel direct to grid AC converters

2097.310 KHz   Only 10 dB above noise floor, may not have heard it on other days

6626.400 KHz  starting to hear both Rainy and the unknown ditter, faint and fading deeply. Too weak to try to determine the center frequencies of each on my PX3's display
