Just when I thought LW was over until December because of lightning crashes...
Couldn't sleep tonight so (at 4 AM EDT) I grabbed my Panasonic DR26 and tuned around to see if I'd get anything besides Key West-332 FIS. Well, first Charleston SC- CH 329 showed up which was a good sign. Tuning higher I thought I heard a long Canadian tone so sat there on 361 kHz and waited patiently. Couldn't believe it but Holman NT-361 HI came through! A new distance record for me at 3388 miles.
T-storms usually do subside here after midnight generally, and tonight was very crash free. It's too bad my DX-1000 is off having the tuning knob repaired (seized up) and I packed away the Lowe HF-225 Europa since those are my go-to NDB receivers.
