27 January 2020

Propagation was good enough today to warrant a green date.  The Distant signals were not as strong as on the 1st and 10th of this month but still very good with some infrequent QSB.   Some of the short paths exhibited very deep fades that was not seen on the distant paths.  We had ten states represented ranging from Minnesota to Florida.   Many over 500 mile Q5 QSO were made.  


==============================================================
In addition to the Net Logger AIM reports below WB8PMD reported CW reception of WW8II 899, KGØVL 579, W4DEX 599, K4FI 559 and KA9FTM 59 SSB.
