And again propagation was poor today.  WW8II running 1400 watts CW averaged about 559 at W4DEX for many weeks until recently.  Today no signal was detected during two transmissions.   Also until recently KGØVL and WW8II had daily CW and SSB QSOs.  Today KGØVL did not detect the first CW transmission from WW8II but was able to hear it weak over the 443-mile distance between the two.   

AB4AM at 216 miles from W4DEX was Q5 S1 but no QSO was made.  AB4AM also did not hear CW from WW8II.

WA4PGI called W4DEX on CW and a 174 mile 519 QSO was completed.  AD4HG on SSB was Q3 copy at W4DEX.
