Great to work you Mark. You were the first CX QSO after 40m, 
came back up. Nice sounding setup on 40...73 de Bill K4JYS

20M pretty dead here at 2100Z. 


Managed to make enough QSOs to qualify two sets of gear on 20 and 40 earlier but it was rough going. We'll see about 80 tonight.

At the start of the contest this morning I started DX Lab to look at the RBN 
info. NOTHING THERE! I thought DX Lab may be screwed up again. So I started 
it on the second computer. SAME RESULT. 

The I saw these messages. 

Then I looked at IonoProbe. It told me about the solar flare!
