AB4AM on SSB was S5 copy at W4DEX but noise and 3 dB less power from W4DEX made copy difficult at AB4AM.  However, AB4AM had good copy in CW mode from W4DEX and a 216 mile QSO was made.  No signal was detected from KGØVL at W4DEX but AB4AM heard a brief bit of CW though not enough to confirm its origin.  KGØVL did not detect transmissions from AB4AM and W4DEX.  WW8II was not on due to thunderstorms at his QTH.
