SSB Reports:

17:02 KP2AE-JOE: just barely can hear w4dex. no local prop.

17:04 W4DEX-DEX: WOW! KP2AE was 58 an hour ago...now just barely can tell he is transmitting

17:05 WY3T-TIM: Hearing no SSB here

17:06 KP2AE-JOE: can just tell wa4ldu is there

17:06 W4DEX-DEX: WA4LDU SSB not heard

17:09 W4DEX-DEX: K4CSO SSB barely detectable at 50 miles.

17:11 W4DEX-DEX: Only KP2AE and K4CSO hears very weak SSB heard via ground wave

17:22 WA4LDU-JOE: no SSB here today except K4FI normal signal via ground wave at 10 miles

17:25 W4DEX-DEX: K4CSO and KP2AE SSB are slightly better now but still not a useable signal..... an interesting day!
