DST +3 nT
*1*
The highest latitude path was better today. KGØVL reported KØAWU's CW signal the best in the last few days. Peaking 539 slight qsb but fairly stable. Also, a SSB S2 to S3 contact was made.
On the west to east path, KGØVL received no signal from WW8II but WW8II reported detecting KGØVL's CW for about five seconds on a propagation peak.
WY3T was absent today so reports on the most southern paths. Propagation between K4FI and W4DEX was much better than yesterday but still below what we usually have. The AB4AM / W4DEX 216 mile path has been noticeable poor recently. Looking back at reports from a year ago we had the same conditions. AB4AM had much better CW copy on K4FI than from W4DEX. That path is 56 miles shorter at 160 miles.
