FWIW Frank, here in Weakley County EM56ni I'm seeing this on KJ4AJP-1:

Although I'm nowhere near the interstates, I wouldn't say you're being a nuisance.  I'm also nowhere near the two-hop WX stations in Alabama I'll continue to still see even when the day warms up.  Looks to me like you're using a 1 hop SSn-n path so you're trying your best to keep it local.  It's just that KA4BNI-3 west of me has great ears, especially when conditions are just so.

I'm waiting on your overview.  I think it's kind of neat, and have heard QSOs from the JAX area stating the same.
