The 0912 1W ERP 6m WSPR transmission today resulted in G4IKZ (18km), G0OQK (98km) and CN8LI (2113km) spotting me all in one transmission, A very good start on 6m after QSYing up from 40m overnight where the best report was from an AE2 on the east coast USA.
So far CN8LI has been seen twice and he has seen me three times. A promising start on 6m Es today,especially as it is very early still.
Sunspot count today is "only" 75 with 20-30MHz conditions described as "normal" so a reasonable chance of F2-layer DX on 10m.
UPDATE 0958z: G0LRD (25km) and G4FFC (45km) both spotting me too.
UPDATE 1025z: CN8LI seems to have a "pipe" to me: he is spotting me multiple times now remarkably strongly. Is this really Es? I know Es signals can be very strong and consistent but when propagation is there it is so good. It behaves almost more like a duct than a pure reflection.
