Hi Luis,

I am happy to provide your first TA report on LF! :-)

I hope I can give you many more. It's still a bit noisy here from
lightning to the south, even if it is cold and snowing here
yesterday and today. The noise should continue to decrease in the
weeks ahead. I am afraid snow will increase, hi !

Good luck with the antenna. Mine seems to ignore rain but changes
with temperature. Lower resistance and more current with lower
temperature.

73,
Paul N1BUG
