Propagation was rather poor today compared to what we recently have had. Most everyone was heard by all on peaks but the long haul paths were not SSB QSO quality.
===================================================================
17:24 AB4AM-ROB: Just finished a SSB QSO with KG0VL he was at the noise
17:24: *** K5HFG is now online ***
17:24 KG0VL-JEFF: Heard AB4AM on CW about ten minutes ago, good signal.
17:27 WB4WCJ-PAUL: copy w4dex at start
17:28 WW8II-BRUCE: I am hearing what sounds like w4dex in the noise
17:29 WW8II-BRUCE: W4DEX NOW 52 SSB
17:29 K5HFG: I copy AB4AM 53 and DEX 51 SSB
17:30 KG0VL-JEFF: AB4AM now weak on SSB
17:30 W4DEX-DEX: AB4AM S9 when first heard, some QSB down to S7
17:30 W4DEX-DEX: WB4WCJ very weak
17:30 AB4AM-ROB: W4DEX S9
17:31 AB4AM-ROB: WB4WCJ S7
17:32 W4DEX-DEX: KG0VL SSB very weak
17:33 KG0VL-JEFF: WW8II only 52 now on SSB
17:33 WW8II-BRUCE: QUICK QSO WITH KG0VL 52
17:34 WW8II-BRUCE: I STILL COPY W4DEX AT THE NOISE MOST OF THE TIME
17:34 WW8II-BRUCE: W4DEX STILL 51 COPY
17:35 AB4AM-ROB: KG0VL S7 SSB at the noise
17:35 WW8II-BRUCE: KG0VL CW 559 ON THE INVERTED V AND 579 ON THE SAL
17:35 AB4AM-ROB: KG0VL started 559 then faded
17:37 WW8II-BRUCE: KG0VL CW STEADY FOR ENTIRE 2 MIN TRANSMISSION
17:37 W4DEX-DEX: KG0VL barely detectable initially, 15 sec after start signal 539....then up to 559 at end
17:37 K5HFG: no copy on KG0VL. Hear some now about 30% down to noise
17:37 WW8II-BRUCE: K5HFG 339 IN THE NOISE
17:38 AB4AM-ROB: kg0vl SLOW FADES BUT FULL COPY
17:38 W4DEX-DEX: K5HFG initially not heard, detectable after 15 seconds....429 about the middle of transmission....then into the noiz
17:39 AB4AM-ROB: K5HFG at the noise and fades into the noise
17:39 K4FI-DOUG: Copying HFG now Q3-4
17:39 W4DEX-DEX: K5HGF back up to 429 at end
17:40 KG0VL-JEFF: Was not able to hear K5HFG on CW. Strange conditions. Worked on SSB only yesterday.
17:40 WW8II-BRUCE: AB4AM 559 ON THE INVERTED V ANTENNA 599 ON THE SAL ANTENNA
17:41 K5HFG: copy AB4AM 549 entire transmission
17:41 WW8II-BRUCE: SOME QSB ON AB4AM NOW 589 ON THE SAL
17:41 WW8II-BRUCE: W4DEX 549 ON THE INVERTED V AND 589 ON THE SAL ANTENNA
17:42 AB4AM-ROB: W4DEX 599 + with a slight fade
17:43 WW8II-BRUCE: SOME QSB ON W4DEX DOWN TO 519
17:43 K5HFG: copy W4DEX 529 with QSB down to 519 back up to 529
17:43 W4DEX-DEX: AB4AM 599 with slight QSB at end
17:44 KG0VL-JEFF: Heard W4DEX for about the first 30 seconds around 529, then lost to noise for the duration.
17:44 AB4AM-ROB: WW8II 559 with quick fades
17:44 K5HFG: can tell ww8ii is sending but no copy. Just at the noise. No longer hear him
17:45 W4DEX-DEX: WW8II 579 hardly any QSB for the 2 min transmission
17:45 K4FI-DOUG: barely hearing II, extremely weak, picking up
17:45 AB4AM-ROB: K4FI S9 SSB
17:46 KG0VL-JEFF: WW8II 569 with QSB
17:46 AB4AM-ROB: W4DEX S7 now
17:47 KG0VL-JEFF: AB4AM still weak on SSB
17:48 WW8II-BRUCE: AT 1745 W4DEX ON QSB PEAK CALLING K4FI 55 SSB THEN BACK TO THE NOISE
17:49 WW8II-BRUCE: I COPY W4DEX 51 CALLING WB4WCJ I DO NOT HEAR WB4WCJ
17:50 K5HFG: I copy Rob about 40% to noise on SSB
17:50 WW8II-BRUCE: I HEAR W4DEX CALL KG0VL
17:50 WW8II-BRUCE: I DO NOT COPY KG0VL
17:51 K5HFG: I have the SSB filter pinched very tight and can no longer hear anyone but AB4AM
17:51 WW8II-BRUCE: I COPY KG0VL 53 CALLING k5hfg I do not hear k5hfg
17:52 KG0VL-JEFF: Today reminds me of June.
17:52 AB4AM-ROB: indeed
17:52 W4DEX-DEX: WW8II on CW was so good I'm surprised SSB hasn't worked
17:52 K5HFG: I hear no one on SSB. Sorry, Jeff, not our day today.
17:53 WB4WCJ-PAUL: k4fi w4dex weak ab4am god copy
17:55 WW8II-BRUCE: NOW HEARING AB4AM SSB 52
