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 last 2 hours C1.01 current value B9.8 there is a 5 db absorption in progress

16:36 WW8II-BRUCE: Magnetometer @1630ut GOES 16 @ 75.2W 104nt GOES 17 @ 137.2W 98.7nt

16:38 WW8II-BRUCE: Solar wind @1627uyt 447 km/s, PHI 163, Density 2.88p/cm3

CW Reports:
WW8II-BRUCE: 2 min CW WW8II 1640, K0AWU 1642, W4DEX 1644

16:42 K0AWU-BILL: WW8II START 0,0, 0, 0, at 1 min 0, 0, 0, 0, at END 0db

16:42 W4DEX-DEX: WW8II CW not heard, weak but positive visual detection

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







16:20: *** 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

16:34 W4DEX-DEX: No SSB heard

16:35 WW8II-BRUCE: 2 min CW WW8II 1640, K0AWU 1642, W4DEX 1644

16:36 WW8II-BRUCE: Magnetometer @1630ut GOES 16 @ 75.2W 104nt GOES 17 @ 137.2W 98.7nt

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

16:42 K0AWU-BILL: WW8II START 0,0, 0, 0, at 1 min 0, 0, 0, 0, at END 0db

16:42 W4DEX-DEX: WW8II CW not heard, weak but positive visual detection

16:44 WW8II-BRUCE: K0AWU start 0, 0, 0, 0, 1min 0, 0, 0, 0, EOT 0

16:44 W4DEX-DEX: K0AWU CW no signal detected

16:46 K0AWU-BILL: WW8II Nothing heard or detected with SpecLab or Rocky SDR slow waterfall.

16:46 WW8II-BRUCE: W4DEX start 0, 0, 0, 0, 1min 0, 0, 0, 0, EOT 0

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

16:50: *** WW8II is now offline ***

16:49 W4DEX-DEX: 73

16:50: *** STOPPED LOGGING *** 1899 kHz Mid-day Prop Test

16:50: *** NET CLOSED *** 1899 kHz Mid-day Prop Test
