16:42 K0AWU-BILL: WW8II -- START 0, 0, 13db, 15db, at ONE min 15sec, 15db 15db, 15db, at END 12db -- EXCELLENT copy suspect late start

16:42 W4DEX-DEX: WW8II CW 329 on peaks

16:44 W4DEX-DEX: KG0VL CW not heard, good visual peaking 12 dB over noise

16:44 WW8II-BRUCE: KG0VL start 15db, 22db, 20db, 12db, 1min 12db, 4-12db, 15db, 4-10db, EOT 14db

16:44 K0AWU-BILL: KG0VL START 21db, 25db, 25db, 24db, at 1 min 20db, 20db, 21db, 18db, at END 15-20db

16:45 KG0VL-JEFF: WW8II: copied around 70% of two minute transmission. 539 at start, strong qsb and into the noise near thirty seconds. Up and down thereafter, noise level to 519 in strong QSB

16:45 W4DEX-DEX: K0AWU CW no signal detected

16:46 WW8II-BRUCE: K0AWU start 6db, 10db, 2-6db, 4-8db, 1min 0-3db, det,??, det??, 0, det??

16:48 WW8II-BRUCE: wild QSB

16:48 K0AWU-BILL: W4DEX -- Nothing heard or detected with SpecLab

16:48 KG0VL-JEFF: KØAWU: 519-529 with strong QSB. Several dips into the noise

16:49 KG0VL-JEFF: W4DEX 419 copied entire two minute transmission. No QSB, go figure!

SSB Reports:

16:29 KG0VL-JEFF: WW8II 51 SSB

16:29 WW8II-BRUCE: NICE quick 51 copy Q with KG0VL

16:31 WW8II-BRUCE: now listening SE SSB

16:32 K0AWU-BILL: I briefly saw a weak SSB sig during WW8II and KG0VL band check -- < 10db above the noise (I was in CW mode) -- I called KG0VL several times on SSB and nothing heard

16:34 W4DEX-DEX: K4CSO SSB 52 with QSB into the noise

16:34 KG0VL-JEFF: Hearing WW8II on SSB, right at the noise level, not workable.

16:36 KG0VL-JEFF: Called KØAWU several times on SSB, no reply.

16:38 KG0VL-JEFF: KØAWU 53-54 SSB

16:38 K0AWU-BILL: KG0VL 52-53 SSB

16:50 W4DEX-DEX: K4CSO SSB now peaking S5
