16:22 WW8II-BRUCE: There was a major M 4.03 flare that lasted over an hour and still in progress @ a C1.73 and there is a massive 35++ db D layer and polar absorptioon in progress

16:24 WW8II-BRUCE: This event took place inb 2975 and is facing right at the earth so MAYBE we will get somne good Aurora in a couple days

16:25 WW8II-BRUCE: Solar flus @1505ut was 130, A-index 18, K-index 1

16:26 WW8II-BRUCE: Magnetometer GOES 16 @75.2w 130NT, GOES 17 @ 137.2w 98,6NT

16:32 WW8II-BRUCE: Current value on that flare is a C1.77

16:37 WW8II-BRUCE: OK the CW will bew interesting indeed Absorption still in EXCESS OF 35db


16:58 WW8II-BRUCE: Magentometer @1650ut 103nt & 99.4nt

16:58 WW8II-BRUCE: Solar wind @1548ut was 456KM/s, PHGI 54, Density 1.79p/cm3

Received at W4DEX:

SSB Reprots:
16:32 K4FI-DOUG: W4DEX just barely hear you in the noise, signing out.

16:32 W4DEX-DEX: K4FI SSB very weak, but about Q3 copy

16:36 WY3T-TIM: Hearing no SSB here

16:38 KG0VL-JEFF: Called KØAWU twice on SSB, no reply.

16:38 K0AWU-BILL: KG0VL SSB not heard

16:39 WW8II-BRUCE: I was listening and heard NO SSB

16:53 WA4LDU-JOE: Dex, do you hear my SSB???

16:55 W4DEX-DEX: Calling WA4LDU SSB

16:56 WA4LDU-JOE: W4DEX, I hear nothing here....

16:57 W4DEX-DEX: WA4LDU SSB no signal detected







16:20: *** STARTED LOGGING *** 1899 kHz Mid-day Prop Test

16:20: *** NET OPENED *** 1899 kHz Mid-day Prop Test

16:20: *** WW8II is now online ***

16:20 WW8II-BRUCE: LETS SEE IF THE INTERNET IS STILL ACTIVE

16:22 WW8II-BRUCE: There was a major M 4.03 flare that lasted over an hour and still in progress @ a C1.73 and there is a massive 35++ db D layer and polar absorptioon in progress

16:22 W4DEX-DEX: Seems to be working

16:24: *** K5HFG is now online ***

16:23 W4DEX-DEX: Doubt we will hear/see much today......good data!

16:24 WW8II-BRUCE: This event took place inb 2975 and is facing right at the earth so MAYBE we will get somne good Aurora in a couple days

16:24 WW8II-BRUCE: YES the data today is important especially the local stuff

16:25 WW8II-BRUCE: Solar flus @1505ut was 130, A-index 18, K-index 1

16:26: *** K0AWU is now online ***

16:26 WW8II-BRUCE: MaGETOMETER goes 16 @75.2w 130NT, goes 17 @ 137.2w 98,6NT

16:26 W4DEX-DEX: The flare/CME was in progress just as I was starting the daily solar noise monitor just after sunrise...sure wish it had happen a bit later so I could have recorded the full event

16:26: *** KG0VL is now online ***

16:27: *** WY3T is now online ***

16:27 W4DEX-DEX: Noise was so high on the chart I initially thought it was a problem with the system.

16:28 WW8II-BRUCE: Solar wind @1616 461KM/s, PHI 48, Density 2.86p/cm3

16:29: *** K0AWU is now offline ***

16:29 WW8II-BRUCE: I just wish that it was not so cloudy here I could have viewed in H alpha and Sodium D line

16:30 WY3T-TIM: 73 F sunny . . . noise S5 SSB / S3 CW . . . -115 dbm ave noise floor . . . no static lightning crashes

16:30 W4DEX-DEX: https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/goes-proton-flux

16:30 WW8II-BRUCE: I hope bill comes back

16:31: *** K0AWU is now online ***

16:31: *** KG0VL is now offline ***

16:30 WW8II-BRUCE: MY noise floor here is SSB S7 and CW S3

16:31: *** K4FI is now online ***

16:32 K0AWU-BILL: 22deg and very thin overcast -- light breeze ESE (overnight low 1 deg F) -- Noise floor S6 SSB and S2 CW -- Inverted Vee

16:32 K4FI-DOUG: Dex, Just barely hear you in the noise, signing out.

16:32 W4DEX-DEX: K4FI SSB very weak, but about Q3 copy

16:32 WW8II-BRUCE: Current value on that flare is a C1.77

16:33: *** KG0VL is now online ***

16:33 K0AWU-BILL: Frozen ground even with multiple ground rods is a poor "ground". I think that contributes to noise levels.

16:33 WW8II-BRUCE: Today is one of the days where the real data counts

16:34 K4FI-DOUG: 73's

16:34 W4DEX-DEX: Very weak signal Doug...but interesting that I can still hear you with the current D layer absorption

16:34: *** K4FI is now offline ***

16:34 W4DEX-DEX: sitck around, will be interesting to see how your CW signal sounds

16:35 WW8II-BRUCE: local WX cold was 17 deg this morniong with lite snow, Now 26deg feels like 13 humidity 36% wind NW @ 17mph

16:35 K0AWU-BILL: Quite the solor flare!! And still not X class

16:35 KG0VL-JEFF: 2 minute CW schedule: WW8II 1640, KGØVL 1642, KØAWU 1644, K5HFG 1646, WY3T 1648, W4DEX 1650

16:35 W4DEX-DEX: Doug just a fair weather operator 

16:35 WW8II-BRUCE: A X will be even more interesting

16:36 WY3T-TIM: Hearing no SSB here

16:37 WW8II-BRUCE: OK the CW will bew interesting indeed Absorption still in EXCESS OF 35db

16:37 W4DEX-DEX: No locals  an excellent time to test ground wave signals

16:38 K0AWU-BILL: Indeed Bruce -- Good Luck :-)

16:38 KG0VL-JEFF: Called KØAWU twice on SSB, no reply.

16:54 K5HFG-DON: I was absorbed in my work, 73 guys, CUL

16:54 K0AWU-BILL: Over all -- Interesting that Bruce (603 miles) was slightly better copy than Jeff 322 miles

16:54 W4DEX-DEX: WW8II CW still about the same copy

16:55: *** K5HFG is now offline ***

16:55 W4DEX-DEX: Calling Joe SSB

16:55 KG0VL-JEFF: WW8II: much weaker this time on cw Bruce, but I did hear you. The long dashes are pronounced.

16:55 WW8II-BRUCE: AGAIN WO WOW WOW ARE WE REF;LECTING OFF THE BIG CHARGE AT THE POLE??

16:55 K0AWU-BILL: Bruce I was getting distances and missed looking for your second TX

16:55 KG0VL-JEFF: No

16:56 W4DEX-DEX: Havent heard you Joe, been calling SSB

16:56 WA4LDU-JOE: Dex, I hear nothing here....

16:56 KG0VL-JEFF: 73 everyone

16:57 WW8II-BRUCE: tnx FOR THE GREAT DATA COLLECTION TODAY

16:57 W4DEX-DEX: OK Joe....good data!

16:58 WW8II-BRUCE: Magentometer @1650ut 103nt & 99.4nt

16:58 W4DEX-DEX: Back to CW looking for WW8II

16:58: *** KG0VL is now offline ***

16:58 WW8II-BRUCE: Solar wind @1548ut was 456KM/s, PHGI 54, Density 1.79p/cm3

16:59 WW8II-BRUCE: OPK I will transmit agfain @1700 for 1 min

16:59 K0AWU-BILL: RR Bruce TNX

17:01 K0AWU-BILL: WW8II START 11db, 11db, 11db, 11db, END 11db maybe 3db quick QSB -- better than previous :-)

17:01 W4DEX-DEX: WW8II CW still heard keying. Steady 10 dB SN visual

17:01 WW8II-BRUCE: OK I need to run will copy and save the logs

17:02 WW8II-BRUCE: DOUBLE WOW WOW !!!

17:02 W4DEX-DEX: Appears to be very little if any QSB with current flare conditons

17:02 WA4LDU-JOE: anyone open to trying cw on 80M?

17:02 WW8II-BRUCE: OK I HAVE PHONE CAL MUST TAKE 73

17:02 K0AWU-BILL: 73

17:02 W4DEX-DEX: 73

17:04: *** K0AWU is now offline ***

17:07: *** STOPPED LOGGING *** 1899 kHz Mid-day Prop Test
