16:25 WW8II-BRUCE: nice 6 meter opening last night for about 2 hours into LA, OK, TX, and AR
16:27 W4DEX-DEX: Signal 4 Hz high is a locked reference, currently sound card sampling error is 0.03 Hz off freq
16:28 WW8II-BRUCE: I just did a tune for 20 sec
16:30 WW8II-BRUCE: Not looking like a good propagation day
16:30 W4DEX-DEX: Brief 6M opening to TX a few hours ago
16:31 WW8II-BRUCE: I am l;istening to SSB mode all directions so far NO SSB heard
16:31 KG0VL-JEFF: Texas very strong now here now on six meters.
16:31 WW8II-BRUCE: I was monitoring 6 mtrs last 5 hours and NO signals heard here
16:32 KG0VL-JEFF: Constant static crashes here.
16:32 WW8II-BRUCE: I just checke d6 mtrs no signals here
16:33 W4DEX-DEX: Sun sure has been active. I assume this is a normal start to a solar cycle? First time I have ever paid this much attention to to sun activity 
16:33 WW8II-BRUCE: RR on the lightning crashes to your north Jeff
16:34 W4DEX-DEX: Occasional QRN just now started. We sure need rain. Only 1/4 inch in 4 weeks now
16:34 WW8II-BRUCE: The sun activity is my real PASSION
16:35 KG0VL-JEFF: 2 minute CW schedule: WW8II 1640, KGØVL 1642, K5HFG 1644, W4DEX 1646
16:35 K5HFG-DON: Dex, although everyone has said thid cycle will be less than last cycle, The solar activity may signal a great cycle. eeping my fingers crossed. 
16:35 KG0VL-JEFF: I will trade you. We get 1/4 inch of rain here nightly.
16:37 K5HFG-DON: I had quite a few missed contacts last n
16:37 WW8II-BRUCE: It finally stopped raining here after the last 1 inch plus we get rain 3 to 5 times a week for the past 6-8 months everything is over flooded hgere all soft mud
16:38 W4DEX-DEX: RR Don, hope so. Could be my last.....or anyone else last. Sure loosing lots of friends. KC2LIM recently checked out. Very active V/UHF operator
16:38 K5HFG-DON: 6 meter conditions here last nite were deep and long fades. I did manage to complete 2 QSOs. EN51 and EN53
16:39 KG0VL-JEFF: What are you running for a six meter antenna Don?
16:39 WW8II-BRUCE: in 2018 at thew solar fest in issouri we discussed will it be a better than normal or a less than normal no one at thast time would commit to an answer
16:39 WW8II-BRUCE: Ready fdor CW
16:39 W4DEX-DEX: Have not heard from KP2AE since his lockdown on a ship docked in Norway.
16:41 K5HFG-DON: Jeff, I am using an omni directional antenna up 20 ft.
16:43 W4DEX-DEX: WW8II CW not heard, very weak visual detection.
16:44 WW8II-BRUCE: KG0VL start 0, 0, 0, 0, 1min 0, 0, 0, 0, EOT 0
16:44 KG0VL-JEFF: No copy from WW8II
16:44 W4DEX-DEX: KG0VL CW no signal detected
16:45 W4DEX-DEX: K5HFG no signal detected

16:46 KG0VL-JEFF: No copy from K5HFG
16:48 KG0VL-JEFF: Nothing heard from W4DEX
16:48 WW8II-BRUCE: W4DEX start 0, 0, 0, 0, 1min 0, 0, 0, 0, EOT 0 not even a maybe ??? today
16:48 K5HFG-DON: NO signals detected today because they are being sucked up into the D layer vortex.
16:48 WW8II-BRUCE: Magnetometers @1640ut was 120nt and 105nt
16:48 KG0VL-JEFF: No signals heard here either.
16:49 KG0VL-JEFF: One month from the Solstice.
16:49 WW8II-BRUCE: That D layer absorption is still 7db
16:49 K5HFG-DON: WE are DOOMED!
16:50 WW8II-BRUCE: Solar wind @ 1643ut was 540km/s, PHI 131, DFensity 10.89p/cm3
16:51 WW8II-BRUCE: we can oly say doomed if we make the measurment and collect the data
16:51 W4DEX-DEX: Still wanting to see what happend a few days after a big flare.
16:52 WW8II-BRUCE: YES me too
16:52 K5HFG-DON: 160 thru 40 will be rough next few days.
16:53 KG0VL-JEFF: Like Don mentioned, either way we are doomed!
16:53 WW8II-BRUCE: That is why my sign still reads in god's word I trust everyone else must bring data
16:54 WW8II-BRUCE: I will copy and save the logs
16:54 K5HFG-DON: I finally could get on the 160 net a few nights ago, noise had abated
16:54 WW8II-BRUCE: I will have the receiver listening to 50.125
16:55: *** K5HFG is now offline ***
16:55 K5HFG-DON: 73 guys, CUL checking 50.125 during the afternoon.
16:55 W4DEX-DEX: Will also monitor 50.125
16:56 WW8II-BRUCE: log data saved
16:56 WW8II-BRUCE: 73
16:58 W4DEX-DEX: 73
16:58: *** STOPPED LOGGING *** 1899 kHz Mid-day Prop Test
16:58: *** NET CLOSED *** 1899 kHz Mid-day Prop Test
