Today there was more QSB on the E/W paths than the N/S paths.  Both WW8II and KGØVL were both about 5x2 to 5x4 SSB and 549 to 559 CW copy at W4DEX with very little QSB.  At times WW8II on SSB was stronger than AB4AM at W4DEX.  AB4AM at W4DEX peaked 5x8 with dips close to the noise at times.  KGØVL also reported lots of QSB on WW8II.  WB4MDX was copied on CW by everyone except the most distant station, KØAWU, over 900 miles away.
