Propagation was slightly better today on some paths. The KGØVL / KØAWU path was good enough for a 5x2 SSB contact and Q5 copy on CW during most of the usual two minute transmissions. The 444 miles between WW8II and KGØVL was weak but still complete calls were copied both ways on CW on propagation peaks. WW8II was not heard to the south. WY3T received Q5 CW reports from AB4AM, WA4LDU and W4DEX. WY3T copied K4FI and W4DEX at 429 on peaks and AB4AM 539 and 549 on a peak. AB4AM had 439copy on K5HFG for about 20 seconds. The shorter paths were weaker than normal but deep fades close to the noise at times.
