DST -2 nT

Signals were slightly better today with the usual ups and downs.  Complete calls were copied between WW8II and W4DEX and WW8II detected CW from K4FI.  Signals between KGØVL and  WW8II were weak but useable except during fades.  

KGØVL and KØAWU were able to swap signal reports on SSB.  WY3T was copied K4FI 559 and W4DEX 429 on a peak.  WA4LDU copied WY3T 559 on peaks with one dip close to the noise.
