The most distant path today that would provide a valid QSO was 336 miles between WY3T and W4DEX. KØAWU was absent or the 323 miles between him and KGØVL would likely have been QSO quality as it has been the most reliable path. WW8II's CW was detectable at W4DEX and KGØVL but not strong enough to copy any characters. K5HFG's signal was also detectable at 464 miles by WA4LDU.
Signals between WA1AC, KW4DE, WA4LDU and W4DEX were again strong on peaks with lots of deep QSB.

16:27 WW8II-BRUCE: 60 degrees sunshine16:28 K5HFG: 63 F 85% H mostly cloudy
16:28 WY3T-TIM: 82 deg going to 90 noise S4 SSB / S1-2 CW no static crashes detected
16:28 WA4LDU-JOE: WA1AC S7 on peaks with QSB
16:29 WW8II-BRUCE: noise floor with the SAL antenna N.E. -127db S.E. -125db S.W. -125db N.W. -130db and the inverted V -124db
16:32 WY3T-TIM: Can almost hear some SSB but deep in the noise
16:32 W4DEX-DEX: WA4LDU peaking S7 with dips into the noise
16:32 W4DEX-DEX: WA1AC peaking S9 with dips close to the noise
16:33 K5HFG: S5 static, no signals heard
16:34 K4DBK-DENNIS: Just did test count
16:34 K4DBK-DENNIS: No signals heard
16:35 KG0VL-JEFF: Very quiet here today, no signals heard. Noise level zero, S-meter resting on pin, noise blanker off. TX antenna noise level S-2
16:37 K4DBK-DENNIS: Sending a cw carrier now
16:37 WY3T-TIM: Seeing no carrier at 1899
16:37 K5HFG: No carrier heard or detected
16:37 WW8II-BRUCE: 2 MIN CW WW8II 1640 - W4DEX 1642 - K4FI 1644 - WY3T 1646 - K5HFG 1648 - KG0VL 1650
16:38 WW8II-BRUCE: NO CARRIER BEING HEARD HERE FROM K4DBK
16:39 WW8II-BRUCE: SWITCHING TO CW MODE
16:41 W4DEX-DEX: WW8II signal there at first then fade into the noise
16:43 KG0VL-JEFF: WW8II: Could just detect CW, no copy possible
16:44 WY3T-TIM: W4DEX 539 faded to 429 at 70 sec in then back to 539 to eot
16:44 WA4LDU-JOE: W4DEX cw 599 on peaks with strong QSB dips to 519
16:45 WW8II-BRUCE: 2 MIN CW WW8II 1640 - W4DEX 1642 - K4FI 1644 - WY3T 1646 - K5HFG 1648 - KG0VL 1650 -- WW8II 2ND TRY 1652
16:48 W4DEX-DEX: WY3T 539 for first 90 sec then QSB to 429 eot
16:48 WA4LDU-JOE: WY3T cw detectable 16:47:47 to EOT
16:49 WW8II-BRUCE: 2 MIN CW WW8II 1640 - W4DEX 1642 - K4FI 1644 - WY3T 1646 - K5HFG 1648 - KG0VL 1650 -- WW8II 2ND TRY 1652 -- KG0VL 2ND TRY 1654
16:50 WA4LDU-JOE: K5HFG detectable in scope16:49:05 for about 10sec but no copy - faded away
16:52 WW8II-BRUCE: KG0VL POSSIBLE DETECT AT 28 SEC
16:58 WW8II-BRUCE: OK WE HAVE FOUND THE BOTTOM
16:58 K4DBK-DENNIS: NO SIGNALS HEARD TODAY...73S ALL
16:58 KG0VL-JEFF: Rock bottom
16:58 WW8II-BRUCE: GOING TO GET MY RECEIVE VERTICAL TUNED TODAY AND GOING FOR TOMORROW
16:59 W4DEX-DEX: Rock bottom is when I don't hear Tim 
16:59 WW8II-BRUCE: COPY AIM WINDOW NOW AGAIN THIS IS ALL GOOD DATA WE FOUND THE BOTTOM
16:59 W4DEX-DEX: WA4LDU very weak now
17:00 WW8II-BRUCE: QSL ROCK BOTTOM DEX
17:01 WY3T-TIM: At least I had one succeful CW today with DEX - 335 miles ...I will take that on a day like today...73s
17:02 WW8II-BRUCE: I WAS RUNNING THE FULL LEGAL LIMIT AGAIN TODAY
