Propagation between KGØVL, KØAWU and WW8II was again fairly good today but with lots of QSB. WW8II copied K5HFG on CW during the 1st minute of the usual 2-minute transmission. WW8II and KGØVL copied W4DEX on CW with fades to 419. At W4DEX WW8II on CW was 559 with very little QSB and KGØVL was 539 with very little QSB. SSB was good between KP2AE, K4FI and W4DEX. At 18:07 UT KGØVL and W4DEX had a quick Q5 CW QSO. ========================================================================
