DST +1

Propagation between KGØVL and KØAWU was very good today with KØAWU reporting:   "KGØVL best peak sig since I started with the net except for Feb 4 when peak sig was 57db!"

The WW8II / KGØVL path was fair but seemed to be weaker than usual.  

The  95 mile path between K4FI / W4DEX path was good but extending on out to AB4AM at 216 miles from W4DEX signals were much weaker than usual. 

We did see a few peaks on the WW8II / W4DEX 510 mile path but the peaks far between.
