6 March 2020
DST -5
As we have come to expect, the sun angle gets higher and the DX signals get weaker.  Even on the most northern path, MN to IA, KØAWU reported: KGØVL 5-2 to 5-3 SSB "best" I have heard him on SSB today.   But on the E/W path propagation seemed better.  WW8II reported:  "KGOVL NOW 579 ON BOTH SAL AND THE INVERTED V"

WW8II was not heard on SSB in GA, SC, and NC but his CW was 569 at W4DEX.  KGØVL who has been regularly copied at least on CW at W4DEX was not heard.  

WY3T on CW was good copy at W4DEX, KP2AE, and KW4DE but on SSB copy was Q3 at best.  

WW8II detected K5HFG on a short 419 peak.  AB4AM had a short burst of signal from KG0VL at 17:48:55 "short burst 44 and gone, 1-2 sec"

At 216 miles AB4AM's signal was very strong with slight QSB today at KP2AE, KW4DE, and W4DEX.
