15 March 2020
DST +10 nT
Today's propagation was good enough to allow a few DX exchanges and receptions.  The 444 miles between WW8II and KGØVL were very good on peaks allowing S9 SSB reception at WW8II on peaks. Also, KØAWU reported very good CW signals from KGØVL.  K4DBK copied WW8II's CW  439.  Signals between N3EIO and K4DBK were good with K4DBK reporting S9 reception.
There seemed to be a lot more QSB between the northern stations than was noticed between the southern stations.  Between K4FI, WA4LDU, WA1C and W4DEX signals were strong and fairly stable.  K4DBK was copied S5 on SSB at W4DEX and heard by WA1AC.  KGØVL was copied 549 by W4DEX at 808 miles during part of the two minute CW transmission test.
