Sunspots today - Nov 17th 2014

Sunspot number has fallen to 91 yet 10m daytime propagation is supposed to be "good".  Although 10m has yet again opened to the USA (weeks and weeks this has happened now) I would not describe conditions on 10m as particularly "good".  I am still waiting for my first Australian report when using the little beacon for example.  When the band is really "good" VK reports with the 500mW WSPR beacon should be no problem.

    Strange as I made 2 contacts into Australia last week with JT65. Incredible signal reports. And with just 5W. Though I have to admit I used my HB9CV 2 element directional. 73, Bas

    My antenna is not the best Bas. Also, my beacon is just 500mW. I am convinced that it WILL reach Australia. I have reached Australia before on 10m WSPR with same power, but not with the tiny little beacon
