16:51 WW8II-BRUCE: Solar flux 135, A-index 9, K-index 1

16:57 WW8II-BRUCE: Solar activity @1648ut the solar event was B7.32 and the D layer absorption 3.00db

17:24 WW8II-BRUCE: Magnetometers @ 1710ut GOES 16 100nt , GOES 17, 95.6nt

17:25 WW8II-BRUCE: Solar wind @1712ut 324km/s, PHI 57, Density 2.17p/cm3

17:31 WW8II-BRUCE: The solar event during the test was approx B7.5 with a D layer of 3db so need ideas why???? The ionosphere higher up, more self oscillation ??

Excellent local propagation today.  DX signals were way down from the previous few days.
