I again today did a Transmit CW test at 1899KHz from 1500ut to 1600ut . I transmitted a 10-second legal limit CW signal every 2 minutes, and it was received by W4DEX at a 510-mile path. I plotted out the numbers to better show the QSB dips. I also checked the GOES magnetometers and the solar Wind , PHI and Density during this time and could not ascertain any definitive correlation between the solar activity or the solar wind.
There was a C1.06 event @1528ut and there was a slight 4db D layer absorption in progress the entire time of the test .
No conclusion can be seen today, SO WHY WHY WHY THE QSB WHAT IS MOVING ?? THE CLUMPS OF CHARGED IONOSPHERE CLOUDS ?? THE CLUMPS OF MAGNETIC FIELDS ??
COMMENTS WELCOMED AND ENCOURAGED .

16:27 WW8II-BRUCE: I did some testing from 1500ut to 1548 ut every 2 min on the odd min then 1548ut to 1600ut every minute I will digest and send later
16:28 K0AWU-BILL: 80deg 70% humidity -- Noise floor S6 SSB and S3 CW (weekend neighbors) occasional TStorm QRN -- Inverted Vee
16:29 W4DEX-DEX: 10+ dB QSB seems to be the norm for your test Bruce

16:31 WW8II-BRUCE: Yes on the 10Db QSB Ialso on a quick look I do not see any corrolation between the solar wind or the Density
16:33 WW8II-BRUCE: Local WX 73 deg 35% humidity Sunny west 3mph breeze
16:34 WW8II-BRUCE: Magnetometers @ 1610ut were GOES 16 99.2nt and GOES 17 88.6nt

16:36 W4DEX-DEX: 76 deg with a light breeze here sure feels good compared to recent days. Looks like we will be back in the heat the coming week.

16:37 WW8II-BRUCE: QSL on the heat same here starts tomorrow with Tuesday close to 97 to 100
16:37 WW8II-BRUCE: Enjoy the visit to home and drive safe
16:38 W4DEX-DEX: RR Bill. Enjoy the trip.
16:38 W4DEX-DEX: No SSB heard
16:38 WW8II-BRUCE: Ready to start the 2 min CW
16:39 K0AWU-BILL: Thanks guys -- yes mid 90's down there and mid 90s here today and tomorrow with 100deg heat index tomorrow from 11am-5pm. ARGH -- No AV here other than natures shade.
