DST -1 nT

*1*

Today's propagation was almost identical to yesterday.  The only distant SSB two-way exchange was between KGØVL and KØAWU.  WY3T managed to get some CW copy from W4DEX and AB4AM.  AB4AM briefly copied WY3T's CW.  AB4AM was weak but readable on SSB at WA4LDU, K4FI, KP2AE, KW4DE and W4DEX.  Also on CW AB4AM's CW would fade into the noise at the same stations.  Signals between K4FI and W4DEX seemed slightly more stable than yesterday.
