Propagation seems to be improving on the more distant paths while the less than 200 mile paths still has its ups and downs.  WW8II on CW was good copy today at W4DEX (510 miles) during most of a 2 minute CW transmission.  WW8II was able to detect CW from KGØVL and KGØVL copied WW8II between static bursts (443 miles).  AB4AM on CW was 599 at KP2AE, 589 at W4DEX and good signal at WA1AC.  KP2AE also reported receiving an excellent SSB signal from AB4AM.  K5HFG reported hearing no one.
