Hi jim,

?

Yes thanks - it?s solved now - Btw, On a trip to Big Island and Oahu, Honolulu. We so people giving the hand sign and use ?Aloha as "see" you - I found it was a nice way, to think about the trip to a fascination natur on - ?Hawaii!

So by using the word - it reminds me about a nice experience
?so Aloha!

Here are some views of the fantastic solar earlier today from the Dark Sky Observatory.? The first shows the entire "storm", and the remaining spectrographs show some of the details.

I pass along for whatever it's worth...

(1) Did not have my "jove" receiver on today because I had to disconnect the antenna for Spring field maintenance.

(2) My wife was watching the local broadcast TV news on channel 5, 76 to 82 Mhz. (Yes, we still use over-the-air TV!) about 1700 EDT or 2100 UTC.

(3) She ask what the Sun was doing and I replied I had no idea, "Why?"

(4) She said the signal was frequently very pixilated and for seconds at a time would go completely black. We are about 40 miles as the crow flies from the xmitter.

(5) She wondered if solar activity might be causing this?

This is not the first time she has commented on "interrupted" TV reception.

Anyway....fun with radio.....bill...

Carl, maybe I'm off base, but correct me if I'm going down the wrong rabbit hole.?

The SDRPlay and Airspy SDRs can and do scan either 2.0 or 10 MHz.? However, on either end, there is a 1 MHz falloff in response.? So with a 10 MHz setting, you get only 8 MHz of useful data in the plots.??

For example, I presently have a 3-element home brew Yagi pointing straight upward to catch CYG and CASS on 144.096 MHz on a drift scan.? I'm operating an AirSpy Discovery HF+ on the PC using SDR Console.? While it will not do a sweep of 2.0 or 10 MHz, its maximum sweep is ±96 MHz.? Here is a screen grab which I just took:

Note the fall-off on each end of the sweep.? While it posts ± 96 kHs sweep, the bottom and top of the sweep fall off the lower and upper of 40 kHz each in response, so the useful data window is only 112 kHz wide.

So with the SDRPlay and the AirSpy offerings, your useful data window is less than "advertised".? Set for a 10 MHz sweep which I see in your images, the useful window is only 8 MHz wide.?

Good Day All,

Still working on my local setting with SDR Console/SDRC2RSS on getting it cleaned up.? Not quite sure whats causing the High/Low end dropoff.
Anyone else has this?

Thanks for the alert or this would have gone by my active window.? I happened to have a 3-element Yagi pointed directly upward to catch Cass and Cyg on 144.070 MHz.? Nothing "magic" about that frequency other than the antenna was optimized for the low end of 2-meters.? Here is the X-1.2 flare at 144.070 MHz.?

Nothing is calibrated, so don't make any conclusions regarding specific peak levels.? The sun is not boresighted, but a 3-element frontal lobe isn't that sharp.
