The big news: Bill Carney passes along the following tidbit....

Lee suggests "Folks in the mid west may want to check the freq."

Harold Frodge adds "Do we know for sure that it's Sunday morning,
or might it be Monday morning? I guess tonight will tell."

Plenty of QRN (Lightning, for those in Glendale) from storms just north and west
of me, causing a lot of grief.

Pink noise is often used to test frequency response and bandwidth in
audio systems.

No, that would be "español." "Espanol" means nothing... languages, in
Spanish, are not capitalized, and the word you are looking for has an ñ and
not an n.
