Noise & More Noise - Poor 80m Conditions

The past few weeks have been brutal on 80m near my sunrise, around 11:15 UTC.  The lightning strike map for North & Central America has been lit up like a Christmas tree. Up to 10 strikes per second

Bobby, K7FX has been on 3796 almost every day listening and trying. I have been on most days and Barry, W9UCW / Linda, W5TRV have appeared several times.

JQ2SIX, Taka has been a regular and very patient with us. I cannot copy him through the noise on many days ... even at the sunrise peak. JK1CBO, Jin has a stronger signal with his remote station but is not on as often.  JH4CES, Takai is often on but the weakest of the three.
