Sunspots and 10m propagation Sun Mar 15th 2015

Sunspot number is moderate at 56 but 10m is currently forecast to be "poor".

Despite the poor predictions for 10m, my tiny 500mW WSPR beacon has been widely spotted:  4X1RF, LZ1OI, 5B4AHL, 9H1US, G4IKZ and best DX this morning  3B8CW (9751km) at 1054z. Not a bad list for a morning with "poor" 10m conditions! Surprisingly often, days when 10m is supposed to be "fair" or "poor" I have my little 500mW WSPR beacon copied all over the place. Never ever take 10m for granted.
