26 April 2020
DST -7 nT
*1*

Propagation was down even more today.  Still, we had Q5 copy on several paths over 300 miles.  KGØVL and KØAWU were still able to swap reports on SSB and had fair CW copy at 323 miles.  WY3T caught a fair propagation peak on CW from W4DEX reporting 10 seconds of copy at 336 miles.  WY3T received even better copy at 539 for 80 seconds from K4FI at 249 miles.  Also, K4FI and WA4LDU copied some CW from WY3T.  

Signals at short range between K4FI, WA1AC, WA4LDU, KW4DE, and W4DEX were very poor with the exception of the ground wave paths between K4FI / WA4LDU and W4DEX / KW4DE.  

Nothing on the solar or propagation charts looked unusual but the aurora oval map at the time was showing enhanced activity.
