DST -11 nT
*1*
The poor daytime propagation continues but still, WW8II and KGØVL were able to copy each other call sign on peaks at 444 miles. The second best distant reception was made by WY3T who copied W4DEX peaking 539 at 336 miles. The 323 miles between KØAWU and KGØVL is still holding up well enough for Q5 SSB copy. WY3T also copied K4FI peaking 539 at 249 miles.
Signals from K4FI and WA4LDU at W4DEX were more stable today but still weaker than what we regularly saw a month ago. The shortest path of 51 miles between KP2AE and W4DEX gave weak signals with deeper QSB than on the other ~100-mile paths.
