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. 
====================================================================
17:31 AB4AM-ROB: W4DEX just above the noise @ S7

17:32 W4DEX-DEX: AB4AM 55 with QSB

17:32 WB4WCJ-PAUL: prop very poor

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

17:35 WW8II-BRUCE: KG0VL VARY WEEK 449 TO 519

17:35 AB4AM-ROB: KG0VL 519

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
