Signals were down today. WW8II was barely detected by KGØVL at 444 miles. The best solid copy DX was by WY3T who received AB4AM's CW 539 to 549 at 294 miles. WY3T also copied K4FI on peaks at 249 miles. K4FI copied WY3T Q5 initially but lost the signal after the first half of the two minute transmission. Signals between KW4DE, KP2AE, WA4LDU, K4FI and W4DEX had a lot of QSB going from S9 all the way into the noise at times. All are within 103 miles of each other. K4EMF copied AB4AM also seeing a lot of QSB on AB4AM at 32 miles.
