Hi!

I'll add my "two cents worth."  I heard the old familiar "buzz" loud and 
clear on a Yaesu FT-530 HT and a hand held three element Yagi on the 1453 UTC 
pass over Fort Worth, TX, this morning.  It was certainly good to hear the 
old familiar "buzz" and it reached full scale on the FT-530 during a good 
part of the pass.
