Continues minor solar X-ray flares today probably caused the poor propagation today at leas in the lower latitudes.  No signal was detected from AB4AM at W4DEX (216 miles) or KW4DE (230 miles).   However, KP2AE was able to copy his SSB S1at about 160 miles.  KP2AE was weak at both W4DEX and KW4DE and at times faded into the noise.  That's over a short 51 and 60 mile distance.

The east-west more northern latitude 443 mile path was between KGØVL and WW8II initially supported a good CW and SSB contact.  A later attempt wasn't successful.

CW from WW8II was so weak at W4DEX it is questionable if the signal was actually heard. No signal was heard both ways between KGØVL and W4DEX.
