The most reliable path over 100 miles today was 322 miles between KGØVL and KØAWU. The 336-mile path between WY3T and W4DEX was second-best although much weaker than the more northern path. The usually good WW8II to KGØVL and W4DEX was very weak today. At less than 100 miles signals between WA4LDU, K4FI and W4DEX were good with the usual mild QSO swings.
Also, signals both ways were detected between KGØVL and K9TXJ at 395 miles. K9TXJ was running 100 watts to an end-fed long wire at 25 feet.
