Hi all

as usual, I tinker with my antenna configuration for fun. Last night, I saw SJ in the watering hole as most others did.
WM and SIW visible with all 3 showing what has become an almost nightly fade at 3 am EST (8 UTC). EAR also fades
around the same time, and many times does not show back up until just before sunrise here, as was the case last night.
I received a 1 line decode from TAG with many frequency locks. JH was interesting, I didn't pay particular attention to
the times, but the signal disappeared for a while, to later return about 1 cycle higher in frequency around 181.819.5~,
it has slowly lowered in frequency through the day, and as of this post, is at 181.819.28 KHz.
The most interesting occurrence today was seeing the 3 minute portions of JH signal through the afternoon, as well as
WM... I have not been able to see JH during daytime this season. Not willing to accept that my antenna tinkering made
the big a difference ( gee, what you can learn from experience ), I thought I would see what solar activity might be occurring.
I found that a solar flare had indeed happened a bit earlier and I will attribute my afternoon reception to that event.
A little stirring of the " sphere's " goes a long way. Things got back to " normal " for here around 3:30 pm (20:30 UTC) with
all signals disappearing, and WM, and EAR just starting to show up a bit after sunset.

73 all:
