Good but variable propagation continued today.  The geomagnetic field was still unsettled and the solar wind speed was around 500 km/sec.

Recently propagation on the more distant path between KGØVL and the southeastern stations has been much better than the shorter, more northern WW8II path.  For the past year, the shorter WW8II path was much better than what we have seen lately.  KGØVL was copied on SSB by KP2AE, WA4LDU, W4DCL, and W4DEX.


Today K5HFG reported several of those quick bursts of signal that have been heard by multiple stations over the past year.  The closest thunderstorms were well over 1000 miles to the southeast in the Caribbean.

17:37 WW8II-BRUCE: NO COPY ON K5FG

17:37 W4DEX-DEX: K5HFG initially 539 then QSB into the noiz

17:38 WW8II-BRUCE: NOW JUST DETECT K5HFG IN THE NOISE

17:38 KG0VL-JEFF: K5HFG about 519 to noise

17:39 WW8II-BRUCE: W4DEX QSB IN NOISE TO 519

17:39 WA4LDU-JOE: K5HFG CW intermittent copy in and out of the noise

17:40 WA4LDU-JOE: W4DEX CW 599

17:40 WY3T-TIM: W4DEX CW 599

17:40 WW8II-BRUCE: W4DEX NOW STEADY 519

17:40 WW8II-BRUCE: COPY W4DEX 539 IN I VERTED V

17:41 KG0VL-JEFF: W4DEX peaking 579 with fades to 519

17:41 K5HFG: copy W4DEX 549 faded to noise back to 529 at the finish

17:41 W4DCL-CARROLL: W4DEX CW at 599

17:41 WB4WCJ-PAUL: dex cw 559

17:42 W4DEX-DEX: WW8II initially 539, very fast increase to 579 with fast fades back to 539

17:42 W4DCL-CARROLL: WW8II CW at 338

17:42 KG0VL-JEFF: WW8II 569 with qsb

17:43 W4DCL-CARROLL: WW8II CW increased to 469

17:43 W4DEX-DEX: WW8II 589 at end

17:43 K5HFG: copy WW8II 539 w/QSB to noise back up 539 w/QSB to noise at end

17:43 KG0VL-JEFF: WA4LDU weak, but Q5 signal

17:44 W4DEX-DEX: WA4LDU 579, very little if any QSB

17:44 WB4WCJ-PAUL: wa4ldu q5

17:44 WY3T-TIM: WA4LDU at 539

17:44 W4DCL-CARROLL: WA4LDU CW from 469 to 589

17:45 K5HFG: can see WA4LDU on scope but no copy.

17:45 WA4LDU-JOE: WW8II CW intermittent copy in and out of the noise

17:48 WA4LDU-JOE: WY3T CW weak - in and out of the noise and somewhat distorted

17:49 W4DEX-DEX: W2AZQ copied KG0VL SSB and CW

17:50 WA4LDU-JOE: K5HFG CW now 579

17:51 W4DEX-DEX: WY3T 559

17:52 WW8II-BRUCE: W4DEX IS NOW 51 JUST ABOVE THE NOISE WEAL

17:53 KG0VL-JEFF: Heard WW8II on SSB, but W4DEX was louder.

17:53 W4DCL-CARROLL: KP2AE SSB 339 just inside the noise today

17:54 W4DCL-CARROLL: WA4LDU SSB 479

17:55 WW8II-BRUCE: INTERESTING PROPAGATION TWICE THE DISTANCE NOTHING BETWEEN

17:55 K5HFG: just had a burst of SSB but no copy, less than a second

17:55 KG0VL-JEFF: Dexter was strong on SSB that last go-around

17:56 W4DCL-CARROLL: WW2AZQ SSB from 459 to 479 varying with the noise level

17:56 W4DCL-CARROLL: W2AZQ SSB up to 579

17:56 K5HFG: I have been looking for documentation of RF burst but can not find any. I think it is common and caused by the erratic prop we see

17:57 WW8II-BRUCE: I AM HEARING SSB IN THE NOISE BUT CANNOT COPY

18:00 K5HFG:  I heard another SSB Burst that sounded like W4DEX 73 QRT

18:00 WW8II-BRUCE: THE ONLY STATIONS I HAD COPY ON TODAY WAS W4DEX AND KG0VL

18:01 WW8II-BRUCE: NOW HEARING KG0VL 51 ON SSB

18:01 W4DCL-CARROLL: KG0VL SSB down into my noise level now 348

18:02 WW8II-BRUCE: HEARING KG0VL BETTER ON INVERTED V
