Hi, Keith here in Amherst, NY

Not much later in the day, not much new anyway. The E-Skip I was expecting only yielded one weak signal from TN.

Heard between 1730Z and 1900Z on 19 April:

10.1260  WA4SZE - "N"
10.1292  W0ERE
28.1195  KP3FT - PropNet CW ID
28.2000  LU4AA - Weak, 429 and only 1 power level
28.2098  WA4SZE - "N", got both bands
28.2255  W2DLL - ID Cycle varies, 1 - 2 minutes between
28.2790  WA6MHZ
28.2900  N6UN

No XE's and no other 6's, odd conditions


Heard between 2310Z and 0000Z on 19/20April:

10.1260  WA4SZE - "N", only 539 now
10.1292  W0ERE - Duking it out with the RTTY QRM
28.1710  XE1FAS
28.1960  LU4JJ
28.1970  LU5FB
28.1990  LU1FHH - Chirping along

No W2DLL, No LU4AA on 200. With Spectran or Argo I can see the chirp on LU1FHH, the dots & dashes on the display are tilted, there's 100 hz shift on the dashes and 50 - 100 hz on the dots. I see the same thing on the leading character on WA6MHZ also. A very useful tool!

As of t hie time I am typing this (1230Z/20 April) both 10 & 15 are quiet, I don't have any signals on either except the local 10 Meter repeater. However, Spectran is showing 6 - 8 dB of solar noise. There's a sizable sunspot that's been producing numerous "C"-class flares according to Speceweather.com. It looks like it's continuing to do so today.

More to follow when I log something...
