Comments:

Great conditions overall, and with the rain all weekend and mild temperatures,
the incessant line noise that plagues my NNJ QTH was knocked down a bit,
allowing me to hear a little better. 

The solar event on Saturday afternoon was quite eerie - watching my panadapter
display go flatline within minutes after being filled up with big signals
across the band reminded me of the great NYC blackout of '77. I thought
"that was it" for the rest of the weekend, but to my relief, the band
came back, and was stronger than ever. On Saturday night, the JA opening faded
out at the usual time, but then came back, and was better. For a while, there
seemed to be a bottomless sea of JAs, albeit weak ones that I had to dig out of
the noise. It then occurred to me that a form of Hell that Dante missed was to
be tied to a radio, working weak JAs for eternity - through line noise. I'm not
complaining about the opening, which made me long for the heady days of the 80s
when the JAs were more plentiful - I just wish my radio had a better noise
blanker!
