17:27 WW8II-BRUCE: Magnetometer @1720ut , 99.3nt and 97,7nt
17:27 WW8II-BRUCE: Solar wind @1720ut 490km/s, PHI 324, Density 1.47p/cm3'
17:27 K5HFG-DON: My touch screen is very touchy, have to get it just right. Do not like it but it beats menus.
17:28 WY3T-TIM: K4FI SSB was in the noise
17:28 WW8II-BRUCE: There is still a minor D layer absorption A1725ut
17:28 W4DEX-DEX: WY3T SSB better at times than K4FI
17:28 WW8II-BRUCE: OK I will copy and save the logs
17:28 WW8II-BRUCE: maybe things will be better tomorrow
17:29 WW8II-BRUCE: The PING is really loud today
17:29 K5HFG-DON: 73 guys, CUL

17:29: *** K5HFG is now offline ***
17:29 KG0VL-JEFF: Bruce, what is the fundamental frequency for the Alpena sounder?
17:31 WW8II-BRUCE: The sounder sweeps from about 3khz to 10 mhz I think
17:31 WA4LDU-JOE: 73 all....props very poor here
17:31 WW8II-BRUCE: It almost sounds like a hellocopter swishing
17:32: *** WA4LDU is now offline ***
17:33 WW8II-BRUCE: The VHF contest was a NOTHING for me everyone runs Digital with thier rubber duck antennas
17:33 WW8II-BRUCE: Going to sell the new IC9700
