160 meters in the southeast was inundated with QRN today making it difficult to gauge propagation. Still some signal got though enough to indicate propagation possibly was better than yesterday. KP2AE's signal was way over S9 on peaks at W4DEX where the QRN was averaging S8. AB4AM was good copy on CW at WA4LDU, W4DEX, KP2AE and KW4DE. AB4AM and WA4LDU copied WY3T on peaks. WY3T copied AB4AM. The most northern path was weak but still, KGØVL copied KØAWU 529 with some fades into the noise. KØAWU reported Q5 copy of KGØVL with fades but not complete loss of signal during the usual two minute CW transmission.
