30 January 2020
We saw a significant improvement in propagation today over what we had yesterday. Signals were good most of the time but had some occasional deep fades. The shortest path, KP2AE / W4DEX, 51 miles, showed the most QSB. The KGØVL / KØAWU path was better with KØAWU reporting KGØVL 579 36db above the noise. K5HFG, KGØVL and WY3T all copied on CW at W4DEX. WY3T at W4DEX may have been close to the strongest heard so far for that station.
17:34 WY3T-TIM: Idle noise today is S4 SSB and S1-2 on CW
17:35 WB4WCJ-PAUL: noise s8 with a new one at s9 noise takes out SSB w4dex weak
17:36 K5HFG: copy KG0VL SSB just above the noise. Do not hear W4DEX
17:36 KG0VL-JEFF: W4DEX right at the noise level on SSB
17:36 W4DEX-DEX: WY3T S3
17:37 W4DEX-DEX: WB4WCJ S3
17:37 W4DCL-CARROLL: KP2AE in noise, no copy SSB
17:37 W4DEX-DEX: KP2AE S5 with QSB
17:37 W4DEX-DEX: W4DCL S5
17:37 W4DCL-CARROLL: WY3T no copy SSB
17:38 W4DCL-CARROLL: WB4WCJ no copy SSB
17:39 K5HFG: Hear some short bursts of SSB
17:39 WY3T-TIM: W4DEX now in the noise
17:40 W4DCL-CARROLL: W4DEX 599 copy CW
17:41 KG0VL-JEFF: W4DEX 549 steady for the duration
17:42 WY3T-TIM: W4DEX CW is 589 slight QSB once
17:42 K5HFG: W4DEX copy W4DEX 318 entire Tx
17:42 W4DEX-DEX: QSB on all heard so far
17:43 W4DCL-CARROLL: K5HFG no copy on CW
17:43 W4DEX-DEX: K5HFG CW initially 439...fade into noise after 1 min....coming back up at end of transmission
17:44 KG0VL-JEFF: K5HFG just above noise, peaked at midpoint 539
17:45 W4DCL-CARROLL: WY3T right at noise floor can hear but no copy on CW
17:46 K5HFG: WY3T no copy no detection
17:46 W4DEX-DEX: WY4T nice 579 at start, slow QSB down to 539 at end
17:47 K0AWU-BILL: KG0VL 579 36db above the noise steady first min
17:47 WY3T-TIM: K5HFG no copy CW
17:47 WB4WCJ-PAUL: CW w4dex wy3t?
17:48 W4DCL-CARROLL: KG0VL just at noise floor but no copy on CW
17:48 W4DEX-DEX: KG0VL Initially 559 with a slight slow fade then back up to 559 at end
17:48 K5HFG: KG0VL 519/529 signal very loud entire Tx
17:48 KG0VL-JEFF: Did not copy WY3T
17:48 KP2AE-JOE: wy3t 41n at best no cpy on kg0vl cw but herd his ssb
17:48 K0AWU-BILL: KG0VL 25-33db above noise last min 569
17:49 WY3T-TIM: KG0VL can tell he was in there but no decode of characters
17:50 W4DEX-DEX: K0AWU not heard
17:50 KG0VL-JEFF: KØAWU 559, peaking 270 due West
17:50 K5HFG: K0AWU no copy no detection
17:51 W4DCL-CARROLL: K0AWU no detection
17:52 W4DCL-CARROLL: Thank you Dex! I have room for improvement!
17:54 KG0VL-JEFF: W4DEX strongest he's been all day now on ssb
17:55 W4DEX-DEX: WY3T very good SSB copy today
17:56 W4DEX-DEX: WB4WCJ SSB 54
17:59 WY3T-TIM: W4DEX on SSB is at 56 and some QSB and WB4WCJ was 57
18:02 K0AWU-BILL: KG0VL 54-55 SSB best signals since Jan 27th
18:03 KG0VL-JEFF: Good ssb signal from KØAWU 5X5
18:04 KG0VL-JEFF: W4DEX still in on SSB
18:07 WB4WCJ-PAUL: copy dex some now
18:08 KG0VL-JEFF: W4DEX 5X4 SSB QSO
18:08 W4DEX-DEX: KG0VL SSB 54
