26 January 2020
Another day of sightly improved propagation from the low four days ago. But signals did seem to decline during the last minutes while approaching 1800 UT. KØAWU, Minnesota, reported KGØVL, Iowa, was better copy today but his path to WW8II, Michigan, was weaker than normal. Both KGØVL and WW8II were copied Q5 at W4DEX, NC, and K4FI, SC. KA9FTM, IN, was the strongest and most consistent copy of any distant station at W4DEX, NC, at 379 miles. KA9FTM is not far from being in line with the KGØVL-W4DEX path but KGØVL reported no signal heard from KA9FTM while having Q5 copy from W4DEX. We've seen that happen before. After several tries, a Q5 K4DBK- W4DEX SSB exchange was made.

17:47 K4FI-DOUG: Copy KG0VL R3-4x S3-4xQ9 QSB very little
17:47 W4DEX-DEX: KG0VL initially 429 built up quick to 559 and held there for the duration
17:47 WW8II-BRUCE: KG0VLSLIGHT QSB TO 539 AT THE END
17:48 K0AWU-BILL: KG0VL 569 sig 30-10db above the noise mostly above 27db
