A couple of storms have knocked down my antennas, but they're normally an easy catch on the makeshift indoor antennas. That being said I haven't heard them since early in the month running Burns and Allen.

If I had to guess on a date, I'd say it was a couple of days after Groundhog Day.

There's an entire logging thread from yesterday here on the HFU: http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,26587.0.html

I am not hearing them today, however, not even a carrier.
