*****10 January 2020******

Today's propagation was as good as what we had on new year's day.  Maybe even better on some paths.   KGØVL and WW8II was heard by all stations from GA, SC and NC that was on today for the test.  Very little QSB was noticed on the distant paths while the closer paths did exhibit moderate fades.  Initially, the 216 mile path between AB4AM / W4DEX was weaker than normal but came up to SSB QSO quality.  The real surprise is how good and stable signals were between KGØVL, WW8II and W4DEX.  During the whole 1740 to 1800 UT test session all three paths were SSB QSO quality.  Both WW8II at 510 miles and KGØVL at 808 miles on CW were as strong as not a bit stronger at W4DEX than AB4AM at 216 miles and K4FI at 95 miles.   

CW from KG0VL, AB4AM, K4FI and WW8II at heard at W4DEX
