6 February 2020

We had very little activity today due to thunderstorms in the Southeast and the MIA stations attending Hamcation in FL.  Even so, propagation was good enough to earn the light green date above.

While the KGØVL to KØAWU path was down from normal KGØVL's signal at W4DEX was very good.  Copy was marginal due to static crashes.  Audio file of KGØVL as heard at W4DEX:
