No sign of DCF39 down here; however, that doesn't surprise me... Being in
noise central and much further south only Steve has had fleeting glimpses of
it...

The rain has stopped and the antenna current is back over 3.25A.

80m seems to be going long tonight and seemed excellent late last night into
eastern Canada. CHU on 3330KHz was 20over 9 for most of the predawn hours...

I'll be poking about tonight...  VY1JA reported XDW from Whitehorse YK last
night...
