16:24 WW8II-BRUCE: Solar activity @15:35 ut C8.55 created a 10 db absorption event, @ 1614ut now B5.14 with a 1db absorption
1537 UT
16:32 WW8II-BRUCE: There is currently NO D LAYER ABSORPTION
16:26 WW8II-BRUCE: Lightning today Kentucky, TN scattered in N.C. and S.C. heavy in the eastern Gulf and the lower half of Florida and the Bahamas

CW Reports:
WW8II-BRUCE: 2 min CW WW8II 1640, WY3T 1642
16:42 WY3T-TIM: WW8II cw no copy/detect
16:43 W4DEX-DEX: WW8II CW not heard, good visual detection, about 10 dB over normal noise floor but only about 5 dB over QRN floor.
16:44 WW8II-BRUCE: WY3T start 0, 0, 0, 0, 1min 0, 0, 0, 0, EOT 0
16:44 W4DEX-DEX: WY3T CW not heard, hard call on visual detection due to QRN but appears to be some signal there
Received at W4DEX: (No TX due to nearby lighting)
16:20: *** NET OPENED *** 1899 kHz Mid-day Prop Test
16:20: *** WW8II is now online ***
16:20 WW8II-BRUCE: Solar flux 102, A-index 6, K-index 2
16:22 WW8II-BRUCE: I did test @ 1600ut, 1603ut, 1605, 1607, 1609, 1613, QRN, 1617 QRN
16:24 WW8II-BRUCE: Solar activity @15:35 ut C8.55 created a 10 db absorption event, @ 1614ut now B5.14 with a 1db absorption
16:25: *** WY3T is now online ***
16:25 WW8II-BRUCE: Local WX 77 deg 46% humidity nice day NO MOSQUITOES
16:26: *** KP2AE is now online ***
16:26 WW8II-BRUCE: Lightning today Kentucky, TN scattered in N.C. and S.C. heavy in the eastern Gulf and the lower half of Florida and the Bahamas
16:27 WW8II-BRUCE: Noise floor here today SSB S7 CW S3 soft noise
16:28 WY3T-TIM: 90 F partly cloudy . . noise S5-6 SSB / S3 CW . . . -109dbm ave noise floor . . no static lightning crashes
16:28 WW8II-BRUCE: I was watching and I did noit note any increase in noise during the C8.55 flare event
16:30 W4DEX-DEX: No noise from the event at 29 MHz seen here
16:31 W4DEX-DEX: TX antenna grounded. RX only today. Several small cells nearby close enough I hear thunder.
16:31 W4DEX-DEX: Listening SSB for KP2AE for a test
16:32 WW8II-BRUCE: There is currently NO D LAYER ABSORPTION
16:33 WW8II-BRUCE: RR NO XMITT
16:34 W4DEX-DEX: D layer sure recovered quick after big peak at 1538z
16:36 WW8II-BRUCE: So did the lightning maybe discharge it ??? I also note why the quick discharge
16:36 WW8II-BRUCE: 2 min CW WW8II 1640, WY3T 1642
16:36 W4DEX-DEX: KP2AE SSB not heard
16:37 WW8II-BRUCE: I will do 15 sec carrier followed by 15 sec of ID etc
16:38 WW8II-BRUCE: Ready to start @ 1640 and I will get the solar stuff after
16:42 WY3T-TIM: WW8II cw no copy/detect
16:43 W4DEX-DEX: WW8II CW not heard, good visual detection, about 10 dB over normal noise floor but only about 5 dB over QRN floor.

16:45 WW8II-BRUCE: Solar wind @1637ut 378km/s, PHI 356, Density .92p/cm3
16:45 WW8II-BRUCE: OK I will copy and save the logs
16:46: *** WY3T is now offline ***
16:45 WY3T-TIM: 73s to all
16:46 WW8II-BRUCE: PULL all the plugs including the power plugs
16:46 W4DEX-DEX: Joe, will try to be on 60M CH2 at 3 p.m. weather permitting
16:46 KP2AE-JOE: much qrn here storms near by disc ant.
16:47 KP2AE-JOE: will try 60m later today if storms clear
16:47 WW8II-BRUCE: 73 I have the logs copied
16:48 W4DEX-DEX: 73
