We noticed very fast deep QSB fades today on the shortest distance between two stations of 16 miles as well as the most distance at 246 miles.  The solar wind speed was back up to around 450 km/sec.  So far not enough observations have been made to associate the solar wind speed with the variables in propagation we have experienced.  

Present today was AB4AM, KW4DE, WA4LDU, KP2AE, KD4RLD and W4DEX.  AB4AM on SSB was heard by everyone except during deep QSB fades.  WA4LDU and W4DEX was able to override AB4AM receive noise for a quick QSO.  At least one other station was heard but not good enough to identify the call.
