16:41 W4DEX-DEX: A twofer....KG0VL and AB4AM

16:4* W4DEX-DEX: AB4AM CW 439 copy on peaks

16:44 KG0VL-JEFF: W4DEX: no signal detected


CW Reports, 2nd run:
KG0VL-JEFF: KGØVL 1650, AB4AM 1652, W4DEX 1654

16:52 W4DEX-DEX: KG0VL CW @ 1650 not heard, very weak but positive visual near eot

16:57 KG0VL-JEFF: W4DEX: perhaps very weak detection final 15 seconds mired in strong QRN. Cannot confirm.

16:57 W4DEX-DEX: The lines above AB4AM at 1652 were not there as they were at 1640 indicates those lines above AB4AM at 1640 were from KG0VL

16:20: *** STARTED LOGGING *** 1899 kHz Mid-day Prop Test

16:20: *** NET OPENED *** 1899 kHz Mid-day Prop Test

16:27: *** KG0VL is now online ***

16:29 KG0VL-JEFF: W4DEX CW carrier 6db above the noise

16:30: *** W1PRG is now online ***

16:30 KG0VL-JEFF: Summer lightning crashes here

16:31: *** W1PRG is now offline ***

16:31 W4DEX-DEX: Speclab uploads now back on 7610 due to R-75 receiver failure. So upload screen isn't as well calibrated as it has been.

16:31 W4DEX-DEX: AB4AM CW test heard at 1606

16:33 W4DEX-DEX: No QRN here. Sure was a lot last evening. I could hear you and Bruce but copy was poor.

16:34 KG0VL-JEFF: Running visual AGC Fast here due to storms. You are right, it does work better with QRN.

16:34 KG0VL-JEFF: I had a hard time last night, storms all around me.

16:37 KG0VL-JEFF: 2 minute CW schedule: KGØVL 1640, W4DEX 1642

16:38 W4DEX-DEX: Looks like it just up to us to see some signal to keep today's test from a Ø raiting 

16:39 W4DEX-DEX: I will push hard.....have been doing 20 sec key down the 5 sec ID

16:39 KG0VL-JEFF: If I can still see you at the Solstice, that is amazing. Sure beats the past few seasons when I was hearing only.

16:41 W4DEX-DEX: A twofer....you and rob

16:44 KG0VL-JEFF: W4DEX: zero, no signal. Did you TX?

16:45 W4DEX-DEX: Yes

16:45 KG0VL-JEFF: You were good copy just ten minutes ago. Might be my visual AGC settings I just messed with.

16:45 W4DEX-DEX: thought the signal above Rob was you....maybe now. Want another run?

16:46: *** AB4AM is now online ***

16:46 W4DEX-DEX: maybe the signal above rob wasn't yours Jeff

16:46 W4DEX-DEX: AB4AM CW 439 copy on peaks

16:47 KG0VL-JEFF: KGØVL 1650, AB4AM 1652, W4DEX 1654

16:47 W4DEX-DEX: QSL

16:47 AB4AM-ROB: Sorry I had Net logger up also. Didn't know ya'll were here

16:48 AB4AM-ROB: QSL on times

16:48 KG0VL-JEFF: 2 minute CW starting at 1650

16:48 KG0VL-JEFF: KGØVL 1650, AB4AM 1652, W4DEX 1654

16:48 W4DEX-DEX: No problem Rob.....copied your CW fairly well

16:48 W4DEX-DEX: Starting to hear QRN

16:50 W4DEX-DEX: The signal I thought was Jeff along with Rob at 1540 was probably Rob's keying

16:50 AB4AM-ROB: QRN here also

16:52 W4DEX-DEX: KG0VL CW @ 1650 not heard, very weak but positive visual near eot

16:52 AB4AM-ROB: KG0VL no copy/detect

16:53 W4DEX-DEX: AB4AM CW @ 1652 439 copy full transmission

16:54 KG0VL-JEFF: AB4AM: no detection in near-constant QRN

16:57 KG0VL-JEFF: W4DEX: perhaps very weak detection final 15 seconds mired in strong QRN. Cannot confirm.

16:57 W4DEX-DEX: Now since the lines above AB4AM were not there as they were at 1640. That indicated those were from KG0VL

16:57 AB4AM-ROB: W4DEX 8,10,10,15,1 min 20,15,5,8,5 439-599 detect at eot

16:58 W4DEX-DEX: Good that there is a slight frequency difference between stations

16:58 KG0VL-JEFF: So you are saying we are both on the plot?

16:58 KG0VL-JEFF: When doubling is a good thing.

16:59: *** W2YJL is now online ***

16:59: *** W2YJL is now offline ***

16:59 AB4AM-ROB: Well if your gonna mess up do it in style

16:59 KG0VL-JEFF: Amen

16:59 W4DEX-DEX: Made it more interesting Rob

16:59 AB4AM-ROB: Called W4DEX SSB no copy

17:00 KG0VL-JEFF: SpecLab is amazing.

17:00 AB4AM-ROB: I couldn't figure out where everyone was. I brought the net up at 1600

17:00 W4DEX-DEX: No SSB heard

17:01 W4DEX-DEX: Really had me excited when I thought I was hearing Jeff at 1640 ......until I heard the CW ID

17:02 AB4AM-ROB: When I heard Dex I knew something was up

17:03 KG0VL-JEFF: I always wonder if someday that will happen? The unexpected 59 ssb exchange at noon in summer.

17:04 W4DEX-DEX: Seeing two 1899 nets on logger probably was confusing to the lukers

17:04 W4DEX-DEX: Still want to see what we have a few days after the X10 flare

17:05 AB4AM-ROB: Should be interesting

17:05 KG0VL-JEFF: I wonder about the Lurkers as well.

17:05 KG0VL-JEFF: We should start having two nets up on Netlogger. That would spread confusion.

17:06 KG0VL-JEFF: Even in our own group.

17:06 W4DEX-DEX: After a major flare is when I have a daytime 185 khz contact with W1TAG in Mass.

17:07 W4DEX-DEX: running 1 watt to a 50 ft antenna

17:07 KG0VL-JEFF: I was listening during that solar eclipse about 5 or 8 years ago. Heard Colorado and the SE.

17:08 KG0VL-JEFF: Wish we would have been on back then.

17:08 W4DEX-DEX: I was watching clouds directly under the eclipse 

17:09 W4DEX-DEX: Was planning to travel to the path of the eclipse next year but don't think I feel up to it now.

17:10 KG0VL-JEFF: Guess I need to run. See you boys tommorw. 73

17:10 W4DEX-DEX: 73

17:11: *** KG0VL is now offline ***

17:11 AB4AM-ROB: 73 All !!!

17:13: *** STOPPED LOGGING *** 1899 kHz Mid-day Prop Test
