Distant signals were weak again today but still useable on peaks.  KGØVL reported 5x3 SSB from KØAWU.  WW8II on CW was initially 319 copy at W4DEX but faded into the noise after the first 60 seconds.  KGØVL did not hear WW8II during the first two minute CW transmission which is unusual but did copy calls during a repeat transmission at 16:58.   WW8II's signal was not heard during the repeat transmission at W4DEX.  WY3T had fair copy for most of the two minute CW transmission from AB4AM, W4DEX and K4FI.  WY3T on CW was copied by WA4LDU and W4DEX with fades into the noise. The path to AB4AM from K4FI, WA4LDU and W4DEX was much weaker than normal.
