Propagation overall was rather poor today compared to the past few weeks. What seems odd is the Iowa to NC path was the exception. The KGØVL / W4DEX 808 mile path was still good, CW and SSB copy, except for an occasional fade. What has been the most consistant paths over 300 miles, WW8II / KGØVL 443 mile and WW8II / W4DEX 510 mile was very poor today.

17:33 AB4AM-ROB: W4DEX calling WB4WCJ @ S7 +
17:33 W4DEX-DEX: I hear very weak SSB, no copy
17:34 WB4WCJ-PAUL: w4dex no copy
17:34 KG0VL-JEFF: Was hearing W4DEX on SSB, now signals are gone
17:34 WW8II-BRUCE: OK NOW LISTENING CW MODE

17:36 WW8II-BRUCE: KG0VL STILL WEAK 519 AT BEST
17:36 WW8II-BRUCE: SOME QSB ON KG0VL
17:36 W4DEX-DEX: KG0VL 569 down to 529 at end
17:37 WW8II-BRUCE: AB4AM 419 TO MAYBE 519 QSB
17:37 WB4WCJ-PAUL: copy ab4am CW
17:38 WW8II-BRUCE: AB4AM NOW 519
17:38 KG0VL-JEFF: AB4AM 529-539 with fading
17:38 WW8II-BRUCE: AB4AM NOW 539 FADING NOTED
17:38 W4DEX-DEX: AB4AM 589 just a little QSB
17:39 WW8II-BRUCE: W4DEX 419 VERY WEAK
17:39 WW8II-BRUCE: W4DEX NOW FADING UP TO 519
17:40 KG0VL-JEFF: W4DEX 549 louder on vertical TX antenna than RX antenna
17:40 AB4AM-ROB: W4DEX 559 to 519 some QSB
17:40 WB4WCJ-PAUL: w4dex very weak
17:40 WW8II-BRUCE: W4DEX MOSTLY 419
17:41 KG0VL-JEFF: W4DEX lost to noise at end of transmission
17:42 AB4AM-ROB: WW8II came out of the noise 459 @17:41:45
17:42 KG0VL-JEFF: WW8II from noise level to 549 and back to noise
17:43 W4DEX-DEX: WW8II initially 529 with brief 559 peak then back down all the way into the noise
17:43 AB4AM-ROB: WW8II fading into the noise
17:44 KG0VL-JEFF: AB4AM now very weak on SSB
17:45 AB4AM-ROB: KG0VL at the noise SSB but fades into the noise
17:46 WW8II-BRUCE: IAM HEARING SSB DEEP IN THE NOISE FADING IN AND OUT
17:48 KG0VL-JEFF: Unable to raise WW8II on SSB after several attempts
17:48 WW8II-BRUCE: I WILL TRANSMIT SSB AND CALL JEFF
17:49 W4DEX-DEX: KG0VL consistent Q5 on SSB, about S5
17:50 W4DEX-DEX: WW8II SSB detected, no copy
17:50 WW8II-BRUCE: KG0VL QUICK 51 SSB CONTACT QUICK QSB
17:50 KG0VL-JEFF: Pretty rough going there with WW8II, worst copy in months.
17:52 WW8II-BRUCE: I AM STILL HEARING SSB DEEP IN THE NOISE
17:53 KG0VL-JEFF: Looks like I lost the pipeline to W4DEX
17:55 WW8II-BRUCE: NEED TO PLOT THE LAST 2 WEEKS DATA AND THE LAST 3 DAYS DATA AND COMPARE TO ALL SOLAR DATA
17:55 WW8II-BRUCE: NOW HEARING CW
17:56 KG0VL-JEFF: That was me
17:56 W4DEX-DEX: Could tell WB4WCJ was replying to AB4AM but no copy
