16:27 WW8II-BRUCE: I transmitted @1602ut long 10 to 15 sec dashes seen at W4DEX and again @1606 ??? seen @ W4DEX

16:27 WW8II-BRUCE: Good morning Bill Jeff is off till Monday

16:27 K5HFG-DON: What caused the noise spike. It sounded like a rush wind on 6 meters?

16:27 K0AWU-BILL: 42deg overcast and drizzle -- light NW wind -- Noise floor S5 SSB and S1 CW -- Inverted Vee

16:29 WW8II-BRUCE: Noise floor herfe today with the SAL antenna SSB S5 with crashes to S7 CW S1 with crashes to S3

16:29 K0AWU-BILL: OK Bruce --- water water everywhere here. Rivers and lakes are all high and/or overflowing

16:29 W4DEX-DEX: Don, the 29 mhz solar noise I heard earlier sounds somewhat like wind.....will post image and audio later this evening

16:30 K5HFG-DON: QSL Dex

16:30 W4DEX-DEX: Need water.....only 1/4" in last 4 weeks

16:31 WW8II-BRUCE: we have had sevedral inches if not feet of water will be glad to share if we could

16:31 W4DEX-DEX: I have heard same type solar noise on 6 and 2 meters

16:31 WW8II-BRUCE: Everything flooded around here total mud here

16:32 K5HFG-DON: My front yard has not been completely dry yet this spring.

16:33 WW8II-BRUCE: Noise spike noted most interesting need to do more research

16:50 WW8II-BRUCE: I will start paying attention to the noises on 6 meters also now the noise spike seen this morning is most interesting

16:52 WW8II-BRUCE: OK copying the logs now

16:53 K5HFG-DON: 73 guys, CUL

16:53: *** K5HFG is now offline ***

16:53 WW8II-BRUCE: 73 CUL tomorrow
