Propagation was good again today but seemed slightly down from yesterday.  KGØVL was very consistent Q5 copy at W4DEX expect for one fade.  KP2AE reported he had the best copy ever on KGØVL.  WW8II was still weaker than normal at KP2AE and W4DEX but was Q5 copy by K7TOP in Oklahoma.  That's approximately 755 miles.  K7TOP also reported good copy on KGØVL at approximately 466 miles.  The K5HFG / W4DEX path was weak but Q5 copy on peaks.  K3BM reported Q5 signals from KGØVL, WW8II and WA4PGI.  KC1ILH reported good copy on K3BM.
