Given the way it jumps around in frequency I'd agree that it is a defect
It seems to get about 10 hours of usable sunlight these days. at 4:15 PST it was down to 122 mA and at 4:58 it's at 63.
DW's "whoops" are really spicing up the Auroral Chorus
using the KFS SE kiwi
I see the fast dasher is strong at 4097.29
Either we have more than one fast dasher with one also at 4097.1 or it's frequency is a bit unstable

Signal strength here at home is very good. Before this I had to use SDRs to hear it
Very cool, great idea to chart what the sun does to the PV values

I just gave a listen on the hfunderpants SDRs
900’ sky loop - weak but readable whoops
400’ South beverage - weak but readable whoops
Also good signals on KFS omni/SE/NW
Great signal on north Utah SDR
Weak signal on Sedona SDR
No signal on my home receivers

DW has had an all day signal presence from barely readable to quite good at various times here. Pretty good on my NRD-525 right now.
O TMP and I TMP seem to stay within 5 degrees so far. Battery is from 12.7 to 12.9 in the mornings and seems to rapidly charge up between 6:30 and 8:30 to 13.7 volts. PV numerical peaks have hit over 2000 at times in the early morning.

literally sounds like an old scifi movie UFO or ray gun
1. Frequency 7500 to 7515(kHz)
2. Time (UTC) 15:28
3. Duration continuous
4. Receiver Mode CW but the waterfall tells all
5. Receiver Location Half Moon Bay Omni
6. Description. Looks weirder than it sounds
