I don't normally run in full time grabber mode. Last night the static level came up shortly after the upload you saw and all signals disappeared in a 'sea' of noise. If past years are any indication, T/A on 137 here shows a broad early peak after local sunset followed by a period of reduced signal levels from which signals may or may not recover to their earlier strength. I realize this is a broad generalization and there are exceptions but it seems to be the general trend based on 10 years of T/A observations. Jay W1VD WD2XNS WE2XGR/2
