Today we had only two confirmed reception reports over 300 miles.  Between KGØVL and KØAWU propagation was good enough for a S2 SSB contact.  But KGØVL reported KØAWU's CW much weaker than usual during the two minute CW transmission with fades into the noise.  WY3T reported CW from W4DEX 539 the full 2 minutes which was unexpected due to deep QSB on most other paths.  WY3T detected CW from K4FI with no copy.

On the shortest path KP2AE's signal, while S5 most of the time, completely vanished into the noise at times at W4DEX and KW4DE.

16:27 W4DEX-DEX: Looks like there have been a few solar x-ray flux spikes recently

16:27 WW8II-BRUCE: 61 DEG F SUNNY DRYING UP

16:28 K5HFG: 70 F 41% H wind SW 7 noise SSB S5 CW S3

16:28 WA4LDU-JOE: S7 noise level here... not much use in trying to listen today

16:29 WW8II-BRUCE: Noise today SAL antenna N.E. -127db S.E. -127db S.W. -127db N.W.-130db inverted V -125db

16:30 K0AWU-BILL: 59deg, windy and overcast ... "ON FREQ" Bird is back, I'll do the best I can

16:30 WY3T-TIM: 75 deg sunny noise S4 SSB / S2 CW no static crashes

16:30 W4DEX-DEX: WA4LDU weak but Q5

16:31 WY3T-TIM: No SSB heard so far

16:32 WW8II-BRUCE: lightning noted is all 300 to 400 miles off the east coast of N.C. and S.C. I HAVE NO CRASHES BEING DETECTED HERE

16:34 K0AWU-BILL: KG0VL S2 SSB readable through the BIRD in short test

16:34 WW8II-BRUCE: no signals be heard here just moderate static noise

16:34 W4DEX-DEX: KP2AE initially barely detectable, then came up to S3

16:39 WW8II-BRUCE: OK SWITCHING TO CW MODE FULL LEGAL LIMIT TODAY INTO THE INVERTED V APEX AT 70 FOOT

16:41 KP2AE-JOE: qsb bad lost dex on ssb then +10/9 not good prop today

16:41 K4FI-DOUG: WW8II No Copy

16:41 WY3T-TIM: WW8II cw no copy/detect

16:44 K0AWU-BILL: WW8II --- UNKNOWN -- BIRD preventing any serious reception attempt

16:44 KG0VL-JEFF: WW8II no copy. Must have something to do with their Madam Governor.

16:46 W4DEX-DEX: WY3T detectable at start, faded into noise, 219 copy at eot

16:48 WW8II-BRUCE: K5HFG NIL NO DETECT

16:48 K0AWU-BILL: W4DEX - WY3T - K5HFG -- UNKNOWN -- BIRD preventing any serious reception attempt

16:48 W4DEX-DEX: K5HFG nothing seen or heard

16:48 WY3T-TIM: K5HFG cw no copy/detect

16:49 K4FI-DOUG: K5HFG No Copy

16:49 KG0VL-JEFF: KØAWU 519, much weaker than usual. Qsb to noise level and back up again. Only station heard today.

16:49 K4FI-DOUG: K0AWU No copy

16:49 WY3T-TIM: K0AWU CW no copy/detect

16:50 K5HFG: K0AWU no copy

16:51 WW8II-BRUCE: K0AWU NIL NO DETECT

16:51 K4FI-DOUG: KG0VL No Copy

16:52 K0AWU-BILL: KG0VL -- Start Brid blocked -- 15sec14db, 30sec 28db, 1min 23db, 1min 15sec 12db, 1min 30sec 10db, 1min 45sec 13db, END 17db

16:52 WY3T-TIM: KG0VL CW no copy/detect

16:52 K5HFG: KG0VL no copy

16:52 W4DEX-DEX: K0AWU and KG0VL keine kopie

16:53 WW8II-BRUCE: KG0VL NO COPY NO DETECT MADAM HITLER HAS DECREED THAT NO SIGNALS MAY ENTER OR EXIT

16:53 WA4LDU-JOE: K4FI CW 599++

16:53 K5HFG: K4FI no copy

16:53 WY3T-TIM: K4FI CW detecting deep in the noise the first min then faded completely to eot

16:54 W4DEX-DEX: K4FI expected lots of QSB but held fairly stable at 579

16:54 KP2AE-JOE: k4fi in the noise then up 529 then gone

16:55 WW8II-BRUCE: K4FI NO DETECT

16:55 K5HFG: I have so much interference at 1899 to 1899.1 I could not see a signal. Looks like engine noise

16:55 WW8II-BRUCE: OK REMEMBER REPORTING NO SIGNALS HEARD IS JUST AS IMPORTANT DATA AS HEARING ONE 59

16:56 WY3T-TIM: No SSB heard today

16:56 WA4LDU-JOE: No copy K5HFG, K0AWU, KG0VL

16:59 WW8II-BRUCE: Interesting DON I also see a noise spike in your direction just above the noise level very minor but I do see them not there all the time
