Short distant propagation was back to more like normal today.  Good copy with some QSB.  The 808 mile path between KGØVL and W4DEX which was almost constant SSB QSO quality yesterday was back to more like a recent normal.  Just good enough to support a quick SSB contact on propagation peaks.
====================================================================
17:32 WA4LDU-JOE: I can hear SSB in the noise but not well enough to make out the words

17:32 WW8II-BRUCE: JUST HAD A Q5 QSO WITH W4DEX THEN TOOK A DIVE QSB

17:33 WW8II-BRUCE: KG0VL SOLID S9+ OFF THE BACK OF THE SAL ANTENNA

17:35 W4DEX-DEX: WA4LDU S5 with some QSB....much better than yesterday

17:35 W4DEX-DEX: WB4WCJ S3 on peaks

17:37 KG0VL-JEFF: W4DEX heard here, but weak and constant fading

17:38 WW8II-BRUCE: HEARING W4DEX NOW Q5 BUT JUST ABOVE THE NOISE

17:38 WW8II-BRUCE: i JUST HEARD W4DEX RELAY TO ALL THE CW TIMES

17:39 WW8II-BRUCE: KG0VL STILL STRONG SIGNAL AND W4DEX AT THE NOISE

17:40 WW8II-BRUCE: KG0VL 599 ON THE SAL AND THE INVERTED V antennas

17:42 WW8II-BRUCE: solid no QSB on KG0VL 599 full transmission

17:42 W4DEX-DEX: KG0VL not heard for first 90 seconds, then gradually came out of the noise to 549 at end

17:42 WW8II-BRUCE: WA4LDU SOILD 559 COPY

17:43 WW8II-BRUCE: WA4LDU NOW 539 COPY

17:43 WW8II-BRUCE: WA4LDU ALMOST FADEDTO THE NOISE

17:44 WW8II-BRUCE: W4DEX SOLID 579 COPY

17:44 WA4LDU-JOE: copied a few letters from KG0VL right at the end

17:44 KG0VL-JEFF: I could tell that there was CW during Joe's slot, but too weak to make out any characters.

17:45 WW8II-BRUCE: W4DEX QSB TO 539

17:45 WA4LDU-JOE: Dex CW 599

17:45 WW8II-BRUCE: W4DEX QUICK QSB BACK TO 579 TO 599

17:45 KG0VL-JEFF: W4DEX up and down, 539 to noise and back

17:46 W4DEX-DEX: WA4LDU 589 with very little QSB

17:47 KG0VL-JEFF: WW8II strong, good signal again today.

17:47 W4DEX-DEX: WW8II Initially 579 then quick fade down to 549 and back up to 579

17:48 WA4LDU-JOE: copy WW8II XW well at first but then faded to noise. CW was good copy but not moving s meter

17:50 KG0VL-JEFF: N4AOW now on SSB

17:52 W4DEX-DEX: N4AOW Q5 S5

17:52 WW8II-BRUCE: COPY N4AOW AT 1747 55

17:55 W4DEX-DEX: WB4WCJ was copying N4AOW

17:57 WW8II-BRUCE: 73 TO ALL CU ALL TOMORROW

17:57 WA4LDU-JOE: 73 all

17:57 WW8II-BRUCE: JEFF KG0VL WAS STILLS9 ++++ LIKE LOCAL COPY
