At 1716z the 10m band was still wide open to the USA, in total darkness here.Then the band just died for me here in East Cambridgeshire. And then, a full hour later KB9AMG (6300km away) and W8AC spot me at -22dB S/N. And it has been dark here since 1630z! At the moment it looks as if the band finally died cross-pond at around 1830z -very late for 10m.

10m still brilliant
As 6m WSPR was only giving me inter-G signals today, I switched to 10m. The band is still wide open to North America and has been whenever I have checked in recent afternoons. Not one report is from less than 5000km with 2W. Sunspot count is 178 which helps to explain the good conditions of late. The good times will not last: make the most of them as it may be a long wait.
