16:26 K0AWU-BILL: 35db PLUS !!! ARGH!!
16:26 WW8II-BRUCE: Hey Bill I am going to do a 10 to 20 sec carrier @ 1628ut see if you hear anything
16:27 K0AWU-BILL: "Will I be able to hear my own sidetones?" ;-)
16:27 K0AWU-BILL: RR Bruce
16:28 K0AWU-BILL: Oh how I hate to be NEGATIVE --- But NEGATIVE is the response
16:29 K0AWU-BILL: Be glad to listen again or longer
16:29 WW8II-BRUCE: Just needed to do to be sure TNX

16:34 WA4LDU-JOE: Dex, no SSB heard here
16:36 W4DEX-DEX: OK Joe, have made multiple SSB calls....didn't expect to hear anyone considering the current d-layer absorption
16:37 W4DEX-DEX: This may be the day I don't even detect WW8II CW visually
16:37 WW8II-BRUCE: That flare is coming down now C6.2@1530ut
16:37 W4DEX-DEX: Will be interesting to see if your hear my CW

16:53 WW8II-BRUCE: I keep hearin a sweeping loud tone on 144.298 and the beacon increases with it and then goes back down.
16:53 WW8II-BRUCE: OK I will copy and save the logs
16:54 W4DEX-DEX: Tom, we do this test each day at 1630 UT. We have has SSB contacts up to 800+ miles and CW over 1000 miles at mid day. Will be more interesting during the winter months.
16:55 W4DEX-DEX: 73
16:55 KO4TCL-TOM: W4DEX I will come back for sure. it seems an intersting experiment.
