We had several over 300-mile positive receptions today.  Propagation was good enough between KGØVL and KØAWU for an S4 SSB exchange at the start of today's session.  CW was Q5 between the two but much weaker twenty minutes later.  
WW8II had 329 copy on from KGØVL on a second transmission.
WY3T copied K4FI and W4DEX 329 with fades to the noise.  WY3T also copied AB4AM on SSB good enough to confirm calls. 
WA4LDU received WY3T 419 for 30 seconds of the 2-minute test transmission.
AB4AM was Q5 copy on SSB and CW at KP2AE, K4FI, WA4LDU, and W4DEX.  
AB4AM copied K4FI and W4DEX on CW 559- 579 for the full two minutes.
