. . .just plodding along in the RG, when at 1648Z all signals disappeared, even the very loud ones.
Yup, you were last in my log at 1644. After a few minutes I was checking my clock to see if I missed the 1700Z end when I realized we must have had a solar related event. I hadn't checked yet, so thanks.
My big take aways were 1) I can't sustain hand keying very long (hence the bug), and 2) when penciling scratch notes, be sure to strike through zero's and Z's to later distinguish them from O's and 2's.
