16:23 WW8II-BRUCE: SOLAR FLARE NOW PEAKING @1615UT M6.61 D LAYER ABSORPTION LEVEL NOW 35+++ DB
16:24 WW8II-BRUCE: Solar flux 128 A-index 14, K-index 2 but this was at 1500 ut sure things have changed
16:27 WW8II-BRUCE: The flare appears to have peaked @1618ut @ M6.73
16:38 WW8II-BRUCE: The flare and D layer absorption appear top be a fairly long duration
16:50 WW8II-BRUCE: Solar wind @1640ut 439km/s, PHI 345, Density 5.48p/cm3
16:53 WW8II-BRUCE: The flare is still a M3.47 @1647ut and the D layer absorption was still 35db

16:30 WW8II-BRUCE: Bad news it appears due to unforseen family issues I will not be attending the Shelbly hamfest this coming weekend
16:32 K0AWU-BILL: Bruce nothing out of the ordinary
16:32 W4DEX-DEX: Sorry to hear that Bruce....
16:32 WW8II-BRUCE: Watching my noise floor I note a slight 3db in crease in the noise
16:32 WY3T-TIM: 87 F partly cloudy . . noise S5-6 SSB / S3 CW . . -110 dbm ave noise floor . . no static lightning QRN

16:34 WA4LDU-JOE: S5 noise level here, 2 units lower than yesterday
16:35 W4DEX-DEX: Joe, I assume you don't hear me.....give me a call to see if I hear you

16:38 WW8II-BRUCE: The flare and D layer absorption appear top be a fairly long duration
16:39 WA4LDU-JOE: Dex, with the high flare level, I do not expect to hear anything
16:39 WW8II-BRUCE: ready for 2 min CW TEST

16:49: *** WA4LDU is now offline ***
16:48 WY3T-TIM: 73s to all
16:49 WW8II-BRUCE: looks like todays solar activity jiggled the ionosphere enough the our waves were all cancelled

16:51 WW8II-BRUCE: DEX I think you are streching the maybe signal seen on me looks like a full cancellation
16:51 WW8II-BRUCE: OK will save the logs
16:53 W4DEX-DEX: Your first min shows some inline signal
16:53 WW8II-BRUCE: The flare is still a M3.47 @1647ut and the D layer absorption was still 35db
16:54 W4DEX-DEX: also look at Bill's window
16:54 WW8II-BRUCE: The sun has figured out our schedule LOL
16:54 W4DEX-DEX: Tim must be using electronic keyer so does not send dashes....think he runs CW at about 18 wpm
16:55: *** KC8CF is now online ***
16:56 WW8II-BRUCE: I run CW @ 18wpm by hand and 5 second dashs every 15 sec.
16:56 W4DEX-DEX: noise is now increasing so the current windows look somewhat like tims
16:56 W4DEX-DEX: Hi KC8CF
16:57: *** KC8CF is now offline ***
16:57 W4DEX-DEX: Any interest in daytime 160m operating?
16:57 W4DEX-DEX: Bye KC8CF
16:57 W4DEX-DEX: 73 Bruce
16:57 WW8II-BRUCE: Het dave lissten on 1899 cw and see if you hear anything I will transmit for 1 min @1658ut
16:58 WW8II-BRUCE: oh well was not quick enough
16:58 W4DEX-DEX: He didn't stay long
16:58 WW8II-BRUCE: OK enough have to get the lawn cut today rainexpected next 2 days
