11 February 2020

Local propagation, around the Carolinas, was more stable today.  But AB4AM in GA with a very good signal into the Carolinas had fast deep fades.  WY3T was good copy into the Carolinas at times but not as consistent as was heard by W4DEX yesterday.

KØAWU reported very good conditions on the KGØVL path:
17:54 K0AWU-BILL: KG0VL 52-54db above noise floor almost no QSB at all. Great sig.

The oddity for the day was how KGØVL's CW was heard at W4DEX and KP2AE.  Initially, this was possibly thought to be due to the effects of digital noise reduction and QRN.  But reviewing the recording looking for KØAWU's CW no QRN or signal peaks was heard.  Below is the full two-minute recording of KGØVL's CW.  The signal is barely detectable during the first minute.  Any idea what caused the signal change during some periods of the second minute?
