9 February 2020

The Iowa / Minnesota path seems to have improved from yesterday:
17:50 K0AWU-BILL: KG0VL started 41db above noise 30sec in a slow fade to 20db, at 1:15min in built up to 30db set there for a bit then built back to 42db with 10sec to go and ended at 45db :-)
The Iowa / Carolinas path wasn't very reliable.  KGØVL heard nothing from W4DEX on CW during the first try.  A repeat transmission was copied:
17:56 KG0VL-JEFF: W4DEX heard 529 strongest during middle and EM95 portion.
After several tries, a successful SSB QSO was made indicating ropagation peaks were few and far between.
Signals between K4FI and W4DEX noticeably deteriorated during the thirty minute test period.
