A solid 559 443 mile QSO was made today between WW8II and KGØVL.  WW8II was Q3 copy for about 30 seconds at W4DEX, 510 miles.  K5HFG reported hearing no one and no one reported hearing his signal.  The 103 mile path between WA4LDU and W4DEX was fairly good with the typical taking signals down QSB but not into the noise.
