DST -5nT
Several stations reported higher noise levels today described as a "hash" type sound. Another unusual occurrence was a ringing sound on several paths.
"KP2AE-JOE: there was a ringing note on ww8ii and k4fi CW at times noise here was lower than usual"
" K4FI-DOUG: KP2AE, when weak, had a slight ring on his signal, none when stronger. Only one I noticed it on."
Propagation was good enough for a KGØVL / WW8II SSB QSO and KGØVL / KØAWU QSO.
WW8II on CW was good copy at W4DEX running 549 to 569 with slow QSB.
K5HFG on CW was copied by AB4AM. KGØVL copied CW from W4DEX 529 but W4DEX did not copy KGØVL. So it is with long periods between the propagation peaks on the slow QSB days.
The AB4AM / W4DEX path was very poor today but much better between AB4AM and K4FI, KP2AE, W2AZQ and WA4LDU.
