Mid day propagation was way down from yesterday.  Possibly due to a Kp index of 5?  Present today was KW4DE, KP2AE, WA4PGI, WB4EZ, and W4DEX.  WA4PGI was weak but readable most of the time at KW4DE and W4DEX with one brief S9 peak at KW4DE.  WA4PGI was detectable at KP2AE but no readable.  WB4EZ was also weak but readable most of the time at KW4DE and W4DEX but no heard by KP2AE.  WW8II was heard about S1 by KP2AE, KW4DE and W4DEX but did not respond to our calls.
