DST -20 nT
Poor propagation today but still we had some distant receptions. Best distant copy today was CW from WW8II who was copied at 510 miles at 329 with no QSB for the full two minutes by W4DEX. WW8II was also heard Q4 copy on peaks by KGØVL at 443 miles. The KØAWU / KGØVL path was still good enough for 5x5 SSB with some fades close to the noise. On the most southern paths WY3T on CW was only heard by WA4LDU. No signal was detected either direction between WY3T and W4DEX but WY3T copied AB4AM's CW.
The most interesting reception today by WW8II who received a brief burst of signal from K5HFG:
16:52 WW8II-BRUCE: K5HFG NIL NO COPY NO DETECT THEN AT 1625 A BURST ON K5HFG FOR ABOUT 4 SEC A WOW MOMENT.It's beginning to be more convincing the bursts of signal which we have seen many times over the past few years may be due to unusual lighting.
