DST -15 nT
Increasing solar radiation in the northern hemisphere plus slightly higher solar x-ray flux today produced the weakest signals we have seen since early last fall. The most northern path between KGØVL and KØAWU was useable with SSB only on propagation peaks. CW was consistent with KGØVL reporting "KØAWU began 539, up briefly to 559 on TX antenna, light qsb and 539 to end"
During the first two minute CW transmissions, there was no copy between WW8II and KGØVL but signals were detected both ways on a second attempt.
On the most southern path WY3T only detected CW from W4DEX briefly but copied AB4AM 549 up to 549 during the second minute. WY3T was not heard in the other direction
On the short paths signal between WA4LDU, W4DEX and KP2AE were below normal with some QSB taking the signals into the noise at times.
