17:12 WY3T-TIM: WW8II cw no copy/detect

17:12 K0AWU-BILL: WW8II -- Start 0,0, 0-det, det-5db, at 1 MIN det-10db, 5-12db, 8-14db, 9-14db, at END 7-12db

17:12 W4DEX-DEX: WW8II CW not heard, bright but weak visual detection

17:14 W4DEX-DEX: K0AWU CW no signal detected

17:14 WY3T-TIM: K0AWU cw no copy/detect

17:14 KC8TJB-TOM: Not hearing anything

17:18 KP2AE-JOE: w4dex 559 Ground wave 539-419 Sky wave real lousy day for locals

17:18 WW8II-BRUCE: Strange NO signal detected from W4DEX today, yet I had a 419 copy on K0AWU part of his transmission.........The answer is we are having a 20 db D layer absorption

17:18 K0AWU-BILL: W4DEX -- Nothing heard or detected with SpecLab
