17:20 WY3T-TIM: KG0VLcw no copy/detect

17:20 W4DEX-DEX: KG0VL CW 329 copy during a 30 dB visual peak

17:22 WY3T-TIM: WW8II cw no copy/detect

17:22 W4DEX-DEX: WW8II CW 329 peak copy, quick deep fade to noise floor

17:22 K0AWU-BILL: WW8II START 15db, 15-18db, 20db, 22db, at 1 MIN 22-25db, 23db, 23-30db, 28db, At END 28db nice sig

17:22 WA4LDU-JOE: WW8II cw no copy - good visual detect - getting stronger thru entire transmission

17:23 K5HFG-DON: WW8II 5 dB at very end

17:24 WW8II-BRUCE: I did a steady 2 min CW carrier with ID at the end

17:24 KG0VL-JEFF: WW8II: 539 at best. However, Speclab shows >40db signal peak (near KØAWU) yet will hardly move the S-meter.
