Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

For what it's worth, we're seeing the same thing here in Savannah,
occasional big drops in the C/N ratio for a couple hours, then back to
normal:

So far it hasn't caused any uncorrectables or dropped packets, but it
is curious.  Wrong time of year for solar interference - maybe a UFO :)?

Yes, I am seeing the same thing here. The Kp index has been quiet,
and---while we might get brushed by the effects of a CME grazing our
planet later today and/or tomorrow---there aren't any space factors that
should significantly reduce reception at this time, or cause fluctuations
like what we are seeing.
