Peru, 6019.37, Radio Victoria, 0945-1000, Noted a male in Spanish language religious comments. This person is the usual Preacher that is often heard on Radio Victoria at this time. This is a very difficult log since Victoria is under the station on 6020 KHz, probably Australia. To hear Victoria with the receiver's USB activated, there was a need to notch out Australia's carrier using the tracking notch on the NRD545, then zero beat Victoria's carrier which produced a weak audio. Everything is covered by 0958 when Australia plays music. I haven't heard Victoria for awhile. Don't know if they've been off or condx were bad? Either way, the station was threshold today.

Noted a lot of Lightning crashes after 1030 UTC. Haven't had that particular noise so far this year, as I recall. It's a sure sign that summer condx are upon us. Checking the national weather, the only storms on the map were near New Orleans and in that area. Everywhere else was clear. That's a real good example of how far the"noise" or crashes from lightning can travel. Although the storm is over 600 miles away, it's still a reminder that I better start unplugging the antenna from my receiver when it's not in use. Florida is still the "Lightning Capital of (World?)". True or false, we get a lot of it in the summer.
