SSB Reports:
16:31 W4DEX-DEX: Calling SSB now
16:32 WW8II-BRUCE: I am listening to the SE and I heard NO SSB
16:32 WW8II-BRUCE: I will call SSB now
16:33 WW8II-BRUCE: OK I called for 45 sec
16:34 W4DEX-DEX: No SSB heard
16:32 WW8II-BRUCE: I am listening to the SE and I heard NO SSB
16:32 WW8II-BRUCE: I will call SSB now
16:33 WW8II-BRUCE: OK I called for 45 sec
16:34 W4DEX-DEX: No SSB heard
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: Solar flux 160, A-index 12, K-index 1
16:22 WW8II-BRUCE: Solar activity last 24 hours not much Max C3.72 and in the lkast 2 hopurs C1.01 current value B9.8 there is a 5 db absorption in progress
16:23: *** WB4WCJ is now online ***
16:23 WW8II-BRUCE: Local WX mostly sunny now, 80 deg 47% humidity expect rain laterr this afternoon then Ice and snow for Thursday IT IS SPRING TIME spring from one extreame to the other
16:24: *** K0AWU is now online ***
16:24 WW8II-BRUCE: Noise floor with the SAL antenna today SSB S5, CW S1
16:25 K0AWU-BILL: 39deg overcast with cold drizzle -- SSE breeze aver 10mph gusts 25 -- Noise floor S5 SSB and S1 CW -- Inverted Vee
16:26 WW8II-BRUCE: Work is for youngsters I did 12 hours yesterday and I am feeling it today I thionk the project for radio toys is finished or at least as far as I am concerned
16:26 W4DEX-DEX: testing new and hopefully improved receive configuration today. External 2N5901 preamp conntected to dedicated 7610 RX input
16:27 WW8II-BRUCE: HUM 2n5901 and how much does that bring the noise floor up ??
16:28 W4DEX-DEX: Haven't attemped to do a noise figure test but I can detect a bit weaker signal with new configuration
16:30 W4DEX-DEX: Have to use radio 12 dB attenuator with external preamp... Before with loop connected directly both stages of preamp was needed
16:31 W4DEX-DEX: Calling SSB now
16:32 W4DEX-DEX: Any copy Paul?
16:32 WW8II-BRUCE: I have a built in preamp with a HGI Pass filer at the base of the SAL antenna system and then IU have another hiugh pass filter @ the input to my receiver, I can add another 10 db pre amp in the RTR 2 but all that does is raise the noise floor
16:32 WW8II-BRUCE: I am listening to the SE and I heard NO SSB
16:32 WW8II-BRUCE: I will call SSB noiw
16:33 WW8II-BRUCE: OK I called for 45 sec

16:38 K0AWU-BILL: VERY VERY SLOW low pressure center has just passed through. High temps 40s still
16:38 WW8II-BRUCE: Solar winbd @1627uyt 447km/s, PHI 163, Density 2.88p/cm3
16:38 K0AWU-BILL: Lake still entoumbed by ice
16:39 WW8II-BRUCE: OK I am ready for 2 min CW
16:39 W4DEX-DEX: Will likely hit 80F here today 
16:39 WW8II-BRUCE: I am no getting a pulsing noise almost likje rain dropps on the antenna but NO rain

16:46 WW8II-BRUCE: OK will copy and savce the logs now
16:46 WW8II-BRUCE: logs copied
16:46 WW8II-BRUCE: 73 I am going to go take a NAP CU tomorrow
16:46 W4DEX-DEX: Well that was fun....tnx for the RF
16:47 W4DEX-DEX: 73
16:47 W4DEX-DEX: Paul, nice to see you back active
16:47 K0AWU-BILL: Sorry to have missed yesterday. Attended my first hamfest since COVID. Had a chance for a nice personal visit with several radio friend I had never met in person, so that was really nice.
16:48 K0AWU-BILL: The new visis strain is ramping up quickly here with numbers 3 times what they were 5 weeks ago.
16:48 W4DEX-DEX: RR Bill, glad you got to attend the fest.
16:48 K0AWU-BILL: virus --- ARGH
16:49 K0AWU-BILL: 73 fellows and CU tomorrow
16:49 W4DEX-DEX: Sure hope we don't get back to where we were a year or so ago. I'm double boosted but still cautions
