DST -17 nT

Signals seemed a bit better today.  KØAWU and KGØVL were able to QSO in SSB and both reported good CW copy.  WW8II on CW was fair copy at KGØVL and W4DEX, also partial copy at K4DBK.  AB4AM was fair copy on peaks at K5HFG and AB4AM caught a 3 second peak on K5HFG.  KGØVL detected CW from W4DEX but nothing was heard in the other direction.  WY3T on CW was Q5 on peaks at W4DEX and AB4AM.  K4FI on CW was unusually strong at W4DEX and KW4DE.

DST +1 nT

Signal levels continued to decline today.  No SSB contacts were made at over one hundred miles but CW still was fair on several distant paths.  WW8II and KGØVL copied each other's CW Q5 at 443 miles.  WW8II on CW who is usually Q5 at W4DEX was not heard today but WW8II did have some CW copy on W4DEX.  WY3T was hearing SSB from K4FI and W4DEX weak on peaks but copy was poor in the other direction.  WY3T on CW was Q5 copy most of the time at K4FI, WA4LDU,  and W4DEX.  The WY3T / W4DEX path is 336 miles.  AB4AM on CW was good copy but weaker than usual at WA4LDU, K4FI, KP2AE and W4DEX.  However, K5HFG who copies AB4AM on CW most of the time at 309 miles heard no signal today.

The solar x-ray flux was slightly higher today and we found propagation to be slightly worse than yesterday. KØAWU and KGØVL was still able to use SSB at 323 miles. At 443 miles WW8II on CW was only peaked 539 then went into the noise at KGØVL. About the same was seen on WW8II's CW at KØAWU, 603 miles. At 391 miles WW8II's CW peaked 577 at K4DBK and at 510 miles the CW was 549 at W4DEX.

No signal was detected in either direction on the 808 miles between KGØVL and W4DEX.

WY3T copied K4FI and W4DEX CW at 53/549. WY3T at W4DEX peaked at 549 over the 336 mile path. K4DBK was good SSB copy on multiple transmission at W4DEX, 308 miles.

28 March 2020

DST +3 nT

Distant signals were weak today but still good enough for several 800+ mile receptions.  KGØVL on CW was Q5 copy at W4DEX during most of the two-minute transmission.  There was no signal heard in the other direction likely due to QSB.  K7TOP reported briefly hearing a K4 on SSB right after K4FI made a transmission.  That is a 808 mile path.  

KØAWU and KGØVL was able to make the usual SSB two way exchange.  WW8II and KGØVL also had a SSB QSO.  WW8II on CW was good copy at W4DEX and was also copied on SSB several times.  K5HFG copied KGØVL and AB4AM on SSB.  WY3T on CW was copied by WA4LDU, KW4DE and W4DEX.  AB4AM's SSB at W4DEX ranged from 52 to way over S9+ on peaks.  All short-range signals had a lot of QSB.

====================================================================

27 March 2020

DST Ø nT

Propagation was better today. Good enough for several distant SSB QSOs over a few hundred miles. Two-way contact was made between KGØVL and KØAWU, KGØVL and WW8II, AB4AM and W4DEX. WY3T had a partial QSO with both AB4AM and W4DEX. WW8II on CW was copied by KØAWU, KGØVL, W4DEX and a short burst by AB4AM. Signals were heard both ways between KGØVL and K4HFG. WY3T was also heard by KP2AE, WA4LDU and KW4DE.

On the less than 100 mile paths signals varied wildly. KP2AE peaked S8 at W4DEX with fades into the noise. WA4LDU's signal at W4DEX also had a lot of QSB but the same was not seen on WA1AC. This is likely just due to the random fades not happening while a station was transmitting.

25 March 2020

DST +3 nT

Conditions continued to decline today. The only path over one hundred miles​ ​that was usable on SSB was between KØAWU and KGØVL. WW8II on CW was good enough just on propagation peaks to be worked by KGØVL, KØAWU, W4DEX. K5HFG detected WW8II's CW but had no copy. WY3T copied CW from AB4AM solid enough for a QSO but W4DEX was much weaker fading into the noise.  WY3T at W4DEX was very weak fading into the noise during most of the transmission.  AB4AM on CW was heard by KGØVL at 319 but not workable.

Signals at over one hundred miles were the weakest we have seen in many months.  However, some signal was detected on those paths which likely will not happen in the coming months.

 

KØAWU and KGØVL had a short S5 SSB exchange

WW8II on CW at KGØVL was 529 and fairly consistent with slight fading, yet remained throughout. WW8II on CW was 5dB above the noise on peaks at KØAWU and just detectable at W4DEX

WY3T on CW was good copy at K4FI peaking 569, at W4DEX peaking 549.

KGØVL at WW8II: START 419 30 SEC 519 1 MIN PT SOLID 529 HEARING 539 ON SAL AT THE 1 MIN 15 SEC AND 529 ON THE INVERTED V 1 MIN 45 SEC 539 EOT 539

KGØVL at KØAWU: 33db start to :40sec QSB to 22db at 1min, 20db at 1:20, 23db at 1:45 quick QSB to the noise last 5sec

During K5HFG's CW transmission one burst of signal was heard by WW8II, KP2AE, WA4LDU, K4FI and W4DEX. 

16:49 WW8II-BRUCE: K5HFG AT ABOUT THE 20 SEC PT COPY A K AND G ON A BURST CAN JUST DETECT IN NOISE
