Sunspots and 10m

Sunspot number has declined to 39 and 10m propagation is forecast to be "poor". Looks like we could have a struggle on 10m today.

UPDATE 1126z:  10m WSPR spots of my 500mW beacon from LZ1OI (2153km) and UR/SWL56 (2283km) this morning.  4X1RF (3519km) was copying me earlier.  These are probably single hop F2.

  1. Sounds like your new 10m rig will be pushed up the sidings before it ever see's any major action!

    I think the Peak has come and long gone? Never mind you have got the Es seasons to look forward to for the next 5 years or so, until it starts picking up again..

    Hate to think about it but I will be well over 60 by the next Sunspot high! That of course if I make it?

  2. Not so Steve, but my fully self-contained 10m WSPR beacon will be on more often.
