10m WSPR was in good shape today despite the relatively low sunspot number. First to spot my 500mW 10m WSPR beacon in the USA was WN2FMM (7008km) at 1406z. Since then, plenty of other USA stations have been spotting me.
Despite the low sunspot number, it has been a good day on the band, despite the "fair" 10m forecast. This has been the case many times: often I get reports from the other side of the planet when I was expecting very little. My 10m antenna is far from optimised too.
UPDATE 1705z: The 10m USA opening is still in full swing.
UPDATE 1732z: I see that PY3OL (10412km) is spotting my 500mW again on 10m WSPR. 6 continents today on 10m is not at all bad.
UPDATE 2012z: USA 10m opening still going on. W3GXT (5840km) is the last USA station to spot me, but there still could be others.
