*****01 January 2020*****

We had excellent midday propagation to start the new year. Overall signals were strong and QSB was minimal. WA9FDO on SSB was copied by everyone with an S9 signal at most locations. KGØVL at some point had Q5 SSB copy on WW8II, WA9FDO, K4DBK, K4TEG, K5HFG, AB4AM, K4FI, WB4WCJ and W4DEX. The most distant path was KGØVL to WB4WCJ at 932 miles. =====================================================================
