Received at W4DEX:

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

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

16:25: *** K9MOE is now online ***

16:27 W4DEX-DEX: Hi Steve, looks like a low turnout today. We usually have 6 to 10 stations on

16:28 W4DEX-DEX: X class solar flare a few hours ago, so propagation likely limited to groundwave

16:29 W4DEX-DEX: I will make SSB call at 1630 then do a 2 min CW transmission at 1640. CW will be zero beat 1899

16:30: *** K0AWU is now online ***

16:30 K0AWU-BILL: 41deg light rain and very dark, Noise floor S5-6 SSB and S1-2 CW -- Inverted Vee

16:33 W4DEX-DEX: 77F sunny, light breeze

16:37 W4DEX-DEX: Steve, we could use a regular in your location if you are interested in seeing how daytime 160M propagation changes with the seasons and solar cycle. We are here every day at 1630 for about 30 min

16:38 K0AWU-BILL: DEX-- Just the two or THREE? of us today?

16:39 K0AWU-BILL: RRR DEX thanks

16:39 W4DEX-DEX: Yes Bill, Bruce on a job, Jeff will be back from vacation tomorrow, Don out of town

16:44 K0AWU-BILL: 73 DEX and have a GREAT Saturday. I plan on being here tomorrow

16:44 W4DEX-DEX: As Bruce says, no signal is still good data 

16:45 W4DEX-DEX: 73 Bill
