SSB Reports:
16:35 W4DEX-DEX: KP2AE SSB from no copy on first transmission to big S6 signal now

16:37 WY3T-TIM: Hearing no SSB here

16:38 WW8II-BRUCE: Also NO SSB heard today, so far

16:57 W4DEX-DEX: KP2AE SSB still swing from poor copy to S6

I did the pre net test again from 1521ut to 1559utc today 06-20-2022. WW8II transmit 10 second legal limit CW signal to W4DEX receive station every 2 minutes, 510 mile path. The following graphs are the data. I compared the signal (blue line)_and QSB to the D layer absorption level (red line) and can see no direct correlation between the absorption and the QSB .. Also, the Solar wind was fairly constant ranging from 615 km/s to 630 km/s and the density was 10.13p/cm3 to 12.55p/cm3 with the PHI running close to the 0 point again no correlation to the QSB.
I do believe that the extreme IONIZATION of the ionosphere does play a role in the signal strength and also the flares have an effect in the signal level, but they alone do not cause what we see as QSB.

16:22 WW8II-BRUCE: Local WX NICE 75 deg, 65% humidity, Sunny , wind NWE @ 6mph There are T storms 150 miles to my north

16:23 WW8II-BRUCE: I am hearing lightning crashes of 10-20db

16:23 W4DEX-DEX: Almost constant waves of 30 MHz solar noise for the past few hours. 160M noise is above normal so I supset the noise is all across the HF spectrum

16:27 WW8II-BRUCE: Noise here today with the NB on due to the power line QRN SSB S6-7, CW S3-4

16:29 WW8II-BRUCE: I did do a CVW carrier test between me and W4DEX receivibng this morning from 1521ut to 1559ut

16:29 WY3T-TIM: 87 F partly sloudy . . . noise S8 SSB / S5 CW . . . -97 dbm ave noise floor . . no static lightning crashes

16:35 W4DEX-DEX: KP2AE SSB from no copy on first transmission to big S6 signal now

16:36 WY3T-TIM: Yeah 1875 was OK this morning we have had some poor mornings lately though. We switched to 75m (3950) around 6 and it was very good with the Ohio stations at least until 630 when I signed.
