Space Weather Message Code:
 ALTEF3 Serial Number: 3027
 Issue Time: 2020 Mar 23 1652 UTC
 ALERT: Electron 2MeV Integral Flux exceeded 1000pfu
 Threshold Reached: 2020 Mar 23 1635 UTC

Propagation today was poor but not as bad it we will likely see in the coming months.  KØAWU and KGØVL was able to complete a quick 5x2 SSB contact.  WW8II on CW was weak but Q5 copy at KGØVL, KØAWU and W4DEX.  KP2AE heard WW8II at the start of his transmission reporting a warbling type note.   There was no signal detected in either direction between KGØVL and W4DEX.

At 100 miles or less signals were Q5 but weaker than usual with much more QSB than normal.  Some of the paths went into the noise at times.
