Run-in with Chicago Center

(BTW, I do have
weather detection on board--a Strikefinder).

So, what do you avoid using your Strikefinder? Clusters of hits, obviously.

But what about "static"?



I have never picked up "static" to my knowledge. I set the radius to 100 nm
and if I see activity, I close it to 50nm, and keep watching. That gives me
plenty of time to make the calls to FSS or ATC to figure out what's going on,
and to land or divert as necessary.

Sometimes the electrical activity is up in the flight levels and has no effect
down where I am.
