The power company say supplies will be restored this afternoon at some stage. My apologies to Marc, hope we can work each other again soon. Looking at http://www.lightningstorm.com/ls2/gpg/lex1/mapdisplay_free.jsp it seems that the thunderstorms in the US have finally died out for the time being, so I will run the Jason beacon again tonight, in the hope of catching some long-distance propagation before the ionosphere goes on strike (and assuming there is some electricity available by then!). I hope to run the beacon from 2200 - 0300 utc, and frequency will be 137.500kHz again. Any reports will be very welcome. Cheers, Jim Moritz 73 de M0BMU
