0156 Big signal here on Long Island tonight at S9+10. Interesting that they are weak in MA. They are strong enough here to come over the static crashes from thunderstorms in the Hudson Valley.
0205 They were on, then they were gone.
Watch it Quasar!
0207 Conditions have collapsed. Even Ballsmacker up the band has faded into the noise. I wonder if there is a solar storm underway.

0205 S5 with no hint of audio. Odd, usually hear them with ease. Think the guy on long island is drinking the red stuff again lol. Ok OM.
0209 this may be a repeat of last night. 160 up to 40 was horrible. There was next to no activity on cw and FT8.
