21:10 UTC - I actually have a broadcast station on 9600 kHz AM, presumed China Radio International, at about an S5 level.

Interesting image on the waterfall. If I recall, someone else reported a similar image as a UNID somewhere in one of the topics.

03:34 UTC 27 DEC 2022 - Conspiracy theory non-sense programing. Definitely not the WTWW 5085 programing we had been accustomed to. Good readable with marginal fading.

03:38 UTC - Exact same programming being relayed on WRMI 4980 kHz.

Propagation / Re: SolarHam Website Issue 16 DEC 2022

« on: December 24, 2022, 0031 UTC »

01:33 UTC 23 DEC 2022 - It appears that the site is now back on-line.

After one full week, the SolarHam website is finally back online. This past week was quite the ordeal but it looks like things are finally getting back to normal. I would like to thank everybody for your patience and support during the security incident.

22:39 UTC 22 DEC 2022

The SolarHam website is currently in the process of being brought back online . A number of people have been testing the site with no issues reported which is a great sign. Once all of the archived data is on the server I will need to make sure that everything is working okay before full access is restored. Another update will be provided during the next few days.

Thank you all again for your patience and support!
