16:22 W4DEX-DEX: Don....do a tune up test again like you did yesterday....just a 5 second or so carrier

16:22 W4DEX-DEX: I've fairly convinced that was your signal I detected yesterday

16:23: *** KG0VL is now online ***

16:23: *** WY3T is now online ***

16:24 W4DEX-DEX: Oh well.....not likely we have the same propagation as yesterday

16:25: *** K0AWU is now online ***

16:25 K5HFG-DON: ok DEX I will send cw test 16:26

16:26 W4DEX-DEX: ok

16:28 K0AWU-BILL: Unexplained noise floor increase for close to a week now. An increase of 3db.

16:28 W4DEX-DEX: nothing seen Don. But the early test you did yesterday did show up at exactly the same frequency as when you did the 2 min transmission so that was a positive reception

16:28 K5HFG-DON: NO response?

16:29 K5HFG-DON: I am pretty sure it was this station that you detected yesterday
