Is anybody still on? There must be some good DX station on 14240, there are occasional calls, and folks saying "up 5". I can't hear the DX station.

Yes, it's S9TF (not real common), so we want to stay clear of that frequency.

My noise level is much higher than yesterday.  I believe it's from the recent solar activity and should settle down in a couple days.

Well, if I don't have at least S7 noise on 20 meters, then I know something is wrong with my antenna.

I was thinking my qth is contaminated with rf noise from the power lines.

My only comparison is YouTube videos quite frankly. And the outdoor ones sound pretty clean.

Did anyone ever get the Spain guy's callsign?

I'd like to send him an email and let him know he was faint, but clear, in Miami, FL.
