Well I've got a guess as to who it might be, but due to rain and thick cloud cover the dusk to dark Xmas lights in the neighborhood are still on and kicking out a ton of hash. Got some voice when I switched to SSB, but the noise was too heavy to comfortably listen at moderate volume in either mode. Without the local noise it would have been an easy catch.
