*1*

• KØAWU / KGØVL S2 SSB with some QSB in short test
• KØAWU:  KG0VL MUCH IMPROVED over yesterday .. signal 17db stronger and only 4db QSB vs 13db yesterday
• KGØVL: KØAWU 519-529 with qsb. Signal nearly lost at one minute, rising back to 529 at 1 min 30 seconds.
• KGØVL: Possible WW8II detection 
• K4FI: W4DEX 58 with one deep short QSB fade
• WY3T: W4DEX CW deep in the noise floor then 219 at 1 min for about 10 sec and back to noise to eot
• WY3T: K4FI CW no copy but detected deep in the noise floor for the first min then build to 229 to eot
• W4DEX: WY3T 219 for about 15 seconds, rest of the time no signal detectable
• WA4LDU: W4DEX CW 599 peak with strong, fast QSB
• WA4LDU: K4FI CW 599++
• W4DEX: K4FI 599, one slow fade to 559 about the middle of transmission
