Stations active today that we are aware of were WB4EZ, WA4PGI, K4RCA, K4CFZ, KP2AE, KW4DE, WW8II and KGØVL

Solar X-ray flux was very low and the K index was 2.

Signal strength over the 200 to 250 mile paths were good with WB4EZ averaging about S6 at W4DEX, KW4DE, KP2AE and K4CFZ.  WA4PGI at about 175 miles averaged about S7.  K4RCA averaged S5.  

WW8II was heard by all on CW but reported "FYI Conditions NOT GOOD TODAY, THERE IS A HEAVY AMOUNT OF LIGHTNING AROUND THE ERIE PA AREA.. I AM GETTING +10 TO +15 DB CRASHES . THAT IS REALLY JUST ACROSS LAKE ERIE FROM ME"


Even so he was able to exchange signal reports with WA4PGI on CW.


KGØVL reported hearing WW8II and WA4PGI on CW and probably could have made an exchange with them. He was also hearing W4DEX and KW4DE on SSB.


At the close of the session KGØVL did QSO KW4DE and W4DEX. The KGØVL / KW4DE path is 824 miles which is the best DX so far this activity.
