Today I turned the radio on early around 1409ut. I noticed that W4DEX had his receive monitor and chart recorder running , so I decided to do some CW carrier testing between him and me. WW8II EN82gf88xf transmitting, Legal limit CW into an inverted V antenna apex @70 feet. and W4DEX receiving station EM95tg at approx 510 mile, bearing 160.1 SSE path from WW8II .
Any comments on this are welcomed. There seems to be a lot of interesting things to see from the data . Lots of questions.. WHY WHY WHY

The unexpected data is the result of today's experiment. I had no idea there would be a flare in the middle of this .

1415 ut My 1st CW transmission signal seen at W4DEX 25db above the noise floor (WOW)
1417 ut I tried SSB no signal seen
1419 ut 9-10db
1421 ut 10-13db
1423 ut 2-5db (QSB??) (if so what caused it)
1425 ut 19db
1427 ut 20-21db
1429 ut 15-17db
1431 ut 15-17db (sudden burst of the signal level)
1433 ut 22-23db (possible moving of charged parts of the layers of the ionosphere??)
1435 ut 2-3db (just as sudden, a drop in signal level)
1437 ut 2-3db
1439 ut 0 (QSB?) (if so what caused it)
1441 ut 14db
1443 ut 0

(ionosphere charge discharge or parts moving??)

1445 ut 0
1441 ut 14db
1443 ut 0 (QSB?) (if so what caused it)
1445 ut 0
1447ut 15-16db
1449 ut 20+db looks like the sig clipped (WOW QSB PEAK??) (why the sudden burst of signal?)
1451 ut 2-3db (then drop off )
1453 ut 13-14db
1455 ut 12db (START OF THE C 4.3 FLARE)
1457 ut Detect ??
1459 ut detect ??
1501 ut 9-10db ( I HAVE NO EXPLANATION FOR THIS SIGNAL SEEN)
1503 ut 0 NOTE THE 8 MINUTE TIME FROM THE START OF THE C4.3 FLARE TO THE FIRST 0 SIGNAL LEVEL , BASICALLY THE TIME FROM THE SUN TO THE EARTH
1505 ut 0 ( C4.3 FLARES PEAKS) (ALSO THE "D" LAYER ABSORPTION PEAKED @15DB)
1507 ut 0
1509 ut detect ??

1511 to 1549 ut NO SIGNAL seen (1530UT THE C4.3 FLARE ENDS AND A NEW C1.9 FLARE BEGINS)

1549ut Detect ?? ( 1546 UT THE C1.9 FLARE PEAKS)
1551 ut 7-8db MYSTERY SIGNAL LEVEL
1553 ut 7-8db MYSTERY SIGNAL LEVEL (again wobbling or moving of parts of the ionosphere?? )
1555 ut 2-3db?? MYSTERY SIGNAL LEVEL
1557 ut 0
1559 ut 0
1600 ut I stopped CW test transmissions
(THE C1.9 FLARE ENDS @1630UT)
