17:14 WY3T-TIM: KG0VL cw no copy/detect

17:14 W4DEX-DEX: KG0VL CW 559 start, steady rise to 569

17:14 WW8II-BRUCE: KG0VL start 30db, 28db, 21db, 17db, 1min 17db, 21db, 24db, 30db, EOT 28db

17:16 WY3T-TIM: K0AWU cw no copy/detect

17:16 WW8II-BRUCE: K0AWU start 20db 25db, 21db 24db, 1min 20db, 20db, 22db, 17db, EOT 18db

17:16 W4DEX-DEX: K0AWU CW not heard, steady visual detection

17:17 KG0VL-JEFF: KØAWU: 559-569 with light qsb

17:17 W4DEX-DEX: WY3T CW 539 start, fade to 429

17:18 WW8II-BRUCE: WY3T start 0, 0, 0, 0, 1min 0, 0, 0, 0, EOT 0

17:18 KG0VL-JEFF: No copy from WY3T

17:20 K0AWU-BILL: WY3T -- Nothing heard or detected with SpecLab

17:20 WW8II-BRUCE: W4DEX start 18db, 15db, 18db, 17db, 1min 18db, 15db, 15db, 12db, EOT 11db

17:20 KG0VL-JEFF: W4DEX: 559 slow decline towards the end.

17:20 WY3T-TIM: W4DEX cw 219, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2 db > noise floor at eot

17:21 K0AWU-BILL: W4DEX -- Detected 95% or the time excellent trace. Not strong enough to measure strength

17:21 WW8II-BRUCE: I copy KG0VL K0AWU and W4DEX with the SAL and the loop on the ground antenna appeared to be the same db above noise with both antennas real interesting

17:21 WY3T-TIM: DEX would have been at least a 549 if the increased noise was not there
