17:49 W4DEX-DEX: K0AWU no detect

17:49 KG0VL-JEFF: W4DEX: 549 stable and no qsb. Best signal of the day and the most distant. How can that be?

17:52 WA4LDU-JOE: Merry Christmas all!!!

17:53: *** N5KB is now online ***

17:53 KG0VL-JEFF: Joe (LDU), have you been hearing anything on six meters?

17:53 WW8II-BRUCE: Alpena IONOGRAM for 1745ut was .. https://lgdc.uml.edu/common/ShowIonogramPage?mid=40685175&ursiCode=AL945&time=2020.12.24%20(359)%2017:45:00.000

17:53 WW8II-BRUCE: Jeff see if Mike N5kb can hear you

17:54 N5KB-MIKE-IOWA: HEY JEFF

17:54 N5KB-MIKE-IOWA: HEY BRUCE

17:55 WW8II-BRUCE: Conditions are not good this side of the MIssissippi Mike

17:55 N5KB-MIKE-IOWA: VERY LITE JEFF--RST 22

17:55 WA4LDU-JOE: Jeff, Just the local nets on 6m, no other SSB activity yet. watching the reflector it appears the activity is mostly FT8

17:55 N5KB-MIKE-IOWA: RRR

17:55 WW8II-BRUCE: I hope we have a VARY MERRY STRONG SINGAL CHRISTMAS TOMORROW

17:56 N5KB-MIKE-IOWA: NADA ON 6M HERE

17:56 KG0VL-JEFF: RR Joe, will keep watching

17:56 WW8II-BRUCE: and I heard ZERO

17:56 WW8II-BRUCE: I now hear SSB deep in the noise

17:56 KG0VL-JEFF: N5KB, heard you on ssb Mike, very weak.

17:56 N5KB-MIKE-IOWA: FT8 IS GREAT--KINDA LIKE WATCHING PAINT DRY

17:57 KG0VL-JEFF: Or watching Nascar

17:57 WW8II-BRUCE: I will turn on 6 meters today will be listening on 50.125

17:57: *** K0AWU is now offline ***

17:57 N5KB-MIKE-IOWA: OR GRASS GROW

17:58 WW8II-BRUCE: OR WATCHING PAINT DRY

17:58 KG0VL-JEFF: A local here said he worked NC last night on six ssb

17:58 N5KB-MIKE-IOWA: I MONITOR 50125 ALL THE TIME BUT SO FAR NADA

17:58 WW8II-BRUCE: OK I will copy the logs now

17:58 KG0VL-JEFF: What is your antenna on six Mike?

17:58 WA4LDU-JOE: I plan to be listening on 6M 50.125 also - wishing for some sporadic E

17:58 WW8II-BRUCE: Hope to HEAR everyone tomorrow

17:59 N5KB-MIKE-IOWA: MINOR STORM?

17:59: *** WA4LDU is now offline ***

17:59 N5KB-MIKE-IOWA: SFI SAYS 86-SEEMS LIKE 26

17:59 WW8II-BRUCE: for 6 meters heree I have 1500 watts to a 4 element @ 36 foot

18:00 WW8II-BRUCE: YES on the MINOR storm

18:00 N5KB-MIKE-IOWA: WOW--I ALWAYS WANTED 1500 WATTS ON 6 METERS--TOO CHEEP TO BUILD IT

18:01 WW8II-BRUCE: It is a Elecraft K3s to a Elecraft KPA 1500 amp

18:02: *** KP2AE is now offline ***

18:02 N5KB-MIKE-IOWA: ANYBODY WANT A LEGAL LIMIT HOMEBREW AMP? I BUILT IT BACK IN LATE 90'S--NEEDS TUBES AND A LOT OF LOVE

18:03 WW8II-BRUCE: OK I will hope to hear everyone tomorrow and I should be on 1900 KHz tonight after 0200ut

18:04 KG0VL-JEFF: Just heard good cw, but did not have the earphones on

18:04 W4DEX-DEX: That be me Jeff

18:04 WW8II-BRUCE: There is a net that starts on 1900 @ 0130ut

18:04 W4DEX-DEX: Think I heard your SSB a few min ago

18:04 WW8II-BRUCE: CW NOT me I turne d the amp off

18:05 N5KB-MIKE-IOWA: I HEAR NADA

18:05 WW8II-BRUCE: 73 MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL

18:06: *** WW8II is now offline ***

18:07 KG0VL-JEFF: W4DEX 5x2 ssb qso

18:07 W4DEX-DEX: KG0VL 52 SSB QSO

18:07 N5KB-MIKE-IOWA: IM GOIN BACK TO 20 M--73 ALL--MERRY CHRISTMAS

18:07: *** N5KB is now offline ***

18:08: *** STOPPED LOGGING *** 1899 KhHz Midday Prop Test
