Daytime propagation is still holding up well enough for distant SSB exchanges between WW8II and KGØVL, WW8II and W4DEX, KGØVL and KØAWU. On CW WW8II was peaking 569 at W4DEX, 15 dB above the noise at KØAWU, peaking 549 at KGØVL and heard by K4FI at 574 miles. KGØVL on CW was 429 at W4DEX for the full two minute transmission. At less than 100 miles signals were strong with just a few fast deep fades.
Here's a link to KN4RRQ's CW:
KN4RRQ's 5 watt Hartley Oscillator received 115 miles at W4DEX

16:29 W4DEX-DEX: Hearing WW8II SSB
16:30 W4DEX-DEX: S2 copy Bruce
16:30 WW8II-BRUCE: HEARING W4DEX REAL LITE COPY AT THE NOISE LEVEL
16:30 KG0VL-JEFF: WW8II weak now on SSB
16:31 WW8II-BRUCE: NOW HEARING WHAT SOUNDS LIKE KG0VL ON SSB
16:32 K0AWU-BILL: KG0VL 54 SSB Short test
16:32 KG0VL-JEFF: KØAWU good SSB copy 5X4
16:33 WW8II-BRUCE: NOW HEARING W4DEX 52 SSB
16:33 WW8II-BRUCE: HEAR W4DEX TALKING TO K4FI
16:34 W4DEX-DEX: WW8II S3 QSO
16:35 WW8II-BRUCE: QUICK SSB CONTACT ON THE QSB UP SIDE WITH W4DEX 51 COPY
16:37 WW8II-BRUCE: KG0VL QUICK SSB CONTACT 51 52 QSB IS QUICK TODAY
16:38 KG0VL-JEFF: WW8II 5x2 ssb
16:38 WW8II-BRUCE: 2 MIN CW WW8II 1640 - W4DEX - 1642 K4FI 1644 - K0AWU 1646 - KG0VL 1648 ADD MORE LATER
16:39 WA4LDU-JOE: no cw xmit for me today
16:39 WW8II-BRUCE: OK SWITCHING TO CW\ STILL HEAR W4DEX AT THE NOISE
16:41 W4DEX-DEX: WW8II initiall 569 fading fast close to the noise after 30 sec, then back up to 579 at 60 sec mark slignt fade back to 569 at end
16:42 K0AWU-BILL: WW8II at start 13db still 13db at 1min 15db at 1min 30sec and at the end
16:42 K4FI-DOUG: WW8II last 30 seconds heard in noise.
16:42 K4FI-DOUG: W4DEX 5 x 8
16:42 KG0VL-JEFF: WW8II 549. Quick Rise/Decay rate. Falling to noise level at end
16:42 WA4LDU-JOE: WW8II cw detectable in scope but no copy
16:44 WA4LDU-JOE: W4DEX cw 599 steady
16:44 WW8II-BRUCE: W4DEX START 529 AT THE 30 SEC. 539 AND REMAINED 539 TO THE ENDOF 2 MIN
16:45 KG0VL-JEFF: W4DEX heard 30 seconds in until finish. Very weak, 419 best
16:45 W4DEX-DEX: K5FI 599 no QSB noticed
16:46 WA4LDU-JOE: K4FI cw 599+
16:46 K0AWU-BILL: Neither W4DEX - K4FI were detected or copied
16:46 WW8II-BRUCE: K4FI START NIL THEN 15 SEC 519-- 1 MIN 30 SEC 529 == 449 AT THE END
16:46 KG0VL-JEFF: No copy from K4FI
16:46 W4DEX-DEX: Hearing KN4RRG CW?
16:47 KG0VL-JEFF: KØAWU 529-549 with qsb
16:47 W4DEX-DEX: Caught me off gard....thought at first I was hearing Bill.....signal was drifting at start
16:48 W4DEX-DEX: KØAWU not heard
16:48 K4FI-DOUG: K0AWU No Copy
16:48 WW8II-BRUCE: K0AWU START 519- -THEN 30 SEC NIL -- 1MIN 30 SEC START TO DETECT EOT NIL
16:48 WA4LDU-JOE: K0AWU cw no copy
16:50 W4DEX-DEX: KGØVL 429 for the full two mins....no QSB
16:50 K0AWU-BILL: KG0VL start 30db, 32db at 30sec, 30db at 1min , QSB to 24db at 1min 30sec and the end
16:50 WW8II-BRUCE: KG0VL 519 TO START 30 SEC 519 -- 45 SEC 539 -- 1 MIN 549 -- 1 MIN 30 SEC 559 -- 1 MIN 45 SEC 539 -- EOT 529
16:50 WW8II-BRUCE: INTERESTING QSB
16:52 KG0VL-JEFF: Interesting when I lost Bruce during the final 30 seconds is when Doug began to hear him.
16:55 WW8II-BRUCE: I THINK WE ARE ALL STARTING TO GET BETTER AT THIS REPORTING REAL GOOD DATA AND GETTING BETTER AT IT
16:56 WW8II-BRUCE: I AM HEARING SSB TO ME SE I THINK IT IS DEX NOT SURE
16:57 KG0VL-JEFF: KØAWU 5x3 ssb
16:57 KG0VL-JEFF: WW8II 5X2 ssb Q5
16:57: *** K0AWU is now offline ***
16:57 WW8II-BRUCE: ANOTHER QUICK SSB QSO WITH KG0VL Q5 THIS TIME
16:58 WW8II-BRUCE: OK I WILL BE ON 1900 TONIGHT STARTING AT ABOUT 8:30 PM EDT SO COME JOIN THE FUN
16:59 WW8II-BRUCE: NOW COPYING THE AIM WINDOW AND SAVING
16:59 WA4LDU-JOE: OK Leader!
17:00 WW8II-BRUCE: 73 HOPE TO HEAR SOME OF YOU TONIGHT ON 1900 Khz
17:00 KG0VL-JEFF: Watch it Joe
17:00 WW8II-BRUCE: YEA JOE ME NO LEADER
