Today WW8II and KGØVL made a 443 mile QSO:

  "WW8II-BRUCE: SOLID QSO WITH KG0VL 559 AT 1649UT"

WW8II was almost readable at W4DEX but nothing heard from KGØVL.

The 216 miles path between AB4AM and W4DEX was weaker than usual with AB4AM barely readable on SSB and only about 559 on CW

The WA4LDU to W4DEX path was useable but below what we have recently seen. 

AB4AM was good copy at WA4LDU.
