0013 UTC Just a weak carrier here...today's X-class flare stirred things up and the bands are lousy this evening!
0051 UTC Just checked back and I have some audio just above the noise floor. "Urgent"-Foreigner
0055 UTC Faded up again with "Radar Love"-Golden Earring
0102 UTC Another fade up, but couldn't ID the song
0114 UTC Still have a weak carrier, but no trace of audio
0115 UTC Carrier gone...

Thanks for the DX challenge this evening!

0024 S6 AM carrier barely detecting audio. Talk about bad band conditions, even the local weak signal 6m, 2m, nets are considerably down. Can't wait for the 222, 432 and 1.2 ghz nets tonight lol

0108z - Music. SIO 432. Up to a ~S9 carrier at times but somewhat low modulation here. Airspy HF+D and 31' vertical. DSB sync tuning. Some to moderate static crashing.
0111z - Band propagation might be improving somewhat. SIO 433-ish.
0120z - Lost copy. Powerful UTE overlapping frequency.

K-index has been elevated much of the day, and a X2.1 solar flare nearly wiped out HF earlier today.

Thanks for the broadcast! :)
