Propagation today was noticeable down from what we experienced the past few days.  AD4HG who was a stable S2 at W4DEX yesterday was S1 at best with fades into the noise.  Also the WB4EZ / W4DEX path which was S2 yesterday would fade close to the noise at times.  WA4PGI was S2 at W4DEX occasionally dipping to marginal copy.  KW4DE and KP2AE was present and noticed about the same conditions.  

Analyzing the Advanced Composition Explorer Real Time Solar Wind charts and comparing the propagation difference we see each day may may be a clue to predicting what conditions to expect.  Just need someone smart enough to do that.  Anyone up for the task?
