10m DX

Did not go on this morning but this afternoon I decided to go on 10m rather than 6m.  Sunspot count is 144 and the 20-30MHz forecast "normal" so I was hoping for some F-layer propagation.

My hunch was right as I exchanged WSPR spots with FR1GZ at 1238/1240z. FR1GZ  is 9724km away on Reunion Is in the southern Indian Ocean. At 1330z CX2ABP (11127km) was spotted in Montevideo.  Both definitely F2 propagation.

UPDATE 1352z:  Now a couple of German stations by Es. Also a spot from IZ1034SWL. 10m tends to be more productive than 6m.

UPDATE 1613z:   No more F2 DX this afternoon (so far) but spots from Italy and Spain and I have spotted stations in Italy and Germany by Es. Will stick with 10m this evening to see what turns up.  More from S.America would not surprise me.

UPDATE 2000z:  CX2ABP has been spotted very many times this evening at up to -15dB S/N. I suspect he is currently on TX only as no spots in the other direction.
