On the shorter paths signals were weak but had quick peaks.
Normally CW from AB4AM at W4DEX averages 589 to 599 on CW on the 217 mile path. Today the signal was below the noise with near S9 peaks. Audio file and graphic of the signal:
Graphic of the fast QSB on AB4AM
Notice how weak the signal is at the start.

W2AZQ detected CW during K5HFG's transmit period. This is the second time W2AZQ detected K5HFG's CW while no one else to the east did. The two stations are very close to the same latitude.
16:30 W4DEX-DEX: Short path to KP2AE weaker than normal
with erratic QSB
16:30 W4DEX-DEX: AB4AM also much weaker than normal
16:31 KP2AE-JOE: AB4AM is 54 here
16:36 WW8II-BRUCE: KG0VL CW 559
16:37 WW8II-BRUCE: making S meter jump to S8
16:39 WW8II-BRUCE: Detecting K5HFG CW unable to copy
16:40 KG0VL-JEFF: I hear Don sending "VVV de K5HFG"
16:40 KG0VL-JEFF: Weak, but there for the duration
16:41 WW8II-BRUCE: AB4AM CW now 519 to 539
16:41 WW8II-BRUCE: AB4AM now 44 at best
16:41 KG0VL-JEFF: AB4AM coming in here as well, should
be workable
16:41 WW8II-BRUCE: AB4AM back to 519
16:41 W4DEX-DEX: Very erratic signal strength from AB4AM
16:41 WW8II-BRUCE: AB4AM back to 519
16:41 W4DEX-DEX: Very erratic signal strength from AB4AM
.....recording and will display on the blog
16:42 WW8II-BRUCE: AB4AM now 539
16:42 K5HFG: copy AB4AM >519 into the noise 219 at best
16:43 KP2AE-JOE: AB4AM on CW was 559 to 579 W4DEX
16:42 WW8II-BRUCE: AB4AM now 539
16:42 K5HFG: copy AB4AM >519 into the noise 219 at best
16:43 KP2AE-JOE: AB4AM on CW was 559 to 579 W4DEX
is 599
16:43 KG0VL-JEFF: W4DEX now weak on CW
16:45 AB4AM-ROB: W4DEX was very weak in the noise
16:46 AB4AM-ROB: No copy on WW8II
16:47 W4DEX-DEX: Wild QSB on WW8II also
16:49 AB4AM-ROB: Yep W4DEX was coming out of the noise
16:43 KG0VL-JEFF: W4DEX now weak on CW
16:45 AB4AM-ROB: W4DEX was very weak in the noise
16:46 AB4AM-ROB: No copy on WW8II
16:47 W4DEX-DEX: Wild QSB on WW8II also
16:49 AB4AM-ROB: Yep W4DEX was coming out of the noise
then gone (poof)
16:50 KG0VL-JEFF: My biggest surprise was to hear K5HFG
16:50 KG0VL-JEFF: My biggest surprise was to hear K5HFG
in Mississippi. I heard everyone today except for KP2AE.
16:51 WW8II-BRUCE: GOOD 559 QSO with W4DEX and KG0VL
16:51 WW8II-BRUCE: Good SSB contact with KG0VL Q5 copy
16:52 WW8II-BRUCE: Good SSB contact with W4DEX Q5
16:51 WW8II-BRUCE: GOOD 559 QSO with W4DEX and KG0VL
16:51 WW8II-BRUCE: Good SSB contact with KG0VL Q5 copy
16:52 WW8II-BRUCE: Good SSB contact with W4DEX Q5
some QSB
16:52 WW8II-BRUCE: I was using the SAL antenna could
16:52 WW8II-BRUCE: I was using the SAL antenna could
not copy on the inverted V antenna
16:53 WW8II-BRUCE: I LOVE MY SAL RECEIVE ANTENNA
16:53 WW8II-BRUCE: I LOVE MY SAL RECEIVE ANTENNA
SYSTEM
16:53 KG0VL-JEFF: Fargo, North Dakota AM BCB station still
16:53 KG0VL-JEFF: Fargo, North Dakota AM BCB station still
strong here and my 100 mile distant TIS signal weak.
Just like two days previous.
