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.
