more thunderstorm noise on forty meters. Forty meters was also weaker

Good Evening,
Twenty meters was noisy; a good sign. When I heard the first QNI I
could gauge the QSB - about 4 S units. Then I called my second CQ only
to be met by the squeal of a single tone followed by a single O. So I
guessed it was K4TO, which proved correct. Then I banged out a few
Good Evening,
Twenty meters was a little stronger than last week. Plenty of storm
noise but signals were good enough to dig out. Two to three S units of
QSB but it was slow. The static hissing and lightning snapping made
copy interesting too. Forty meters was weaker than last weekend.
Good Evening,
It was much easier to run the nets when the sun was less active.
Currently I get more email than I do check ins :( However, the peak of
this sunspot cycle cannot be too far off. There was a little noise on 20
meters, but more on 40 with a summer storm in the middle distance.

Conditions were passable to poor. QSB from S1 to S5 or ESP to S6 on

Twenty meters had a little noise with deep QSB. ESP to S6 for one
operator, S3 to S8 for another. Low noise helped me dig deeper. Forty
meters had a little less QSB but more noise. Signals were not as strong
as normal. There were a few thunderstorms in the background.
Good Evening,
I was pleasantly surprised when I received a response to my net
call. All morning twenty meters had been almost dead. Then, about an
hour before the net, I started hearing a few folks in rag chews. Twenty
meters did not have much noise, it was easier to hear weaker signals.
Good Evening,
Conditions were better on both bands than they have been in weeks.
I gave a few reports of NO QSB which has not been the case. Noise was
low so I expect signals were low too, at least storm noise was in the
distance. It was nice to hear folks better again.

My prediction of QSB was inadequate to the conditions. I gave one
