Don't look now but here comes another Hurricane
Set up the 35' tall CB Base Station Antenna again yesterday at the shop here in Minnesota to see if I can pick up some "Bounce" out of Florida to get real time reports of what is happening down there.
Was fortunate to get a bounce, CB Signal from the sender in Florida this morning. His handle was "Street Sweeper" the Truckers Friend on Channel 19, Broadcasting out with specifics to help keep people safe with hurricane information. Will check to see if I can pick him up again tomorrow morning when the skip is good. He was saying one Tornado spun up this morning out by Lake Okeechobee. Impossible for me to contact him, it's a one way skip... I just listen.

Was also able to string out the 160' long wire antenna for the Short Wave Radio Reciever. Was able to pick up Radio Station 1.277 AM that is a talk and news show putting out information from Tampa Florida. Will check them out again in the morning also.
