Sunspots and 10m - April 9th 2015

Sunspot number is much the same at 40 (K=3) and 10m propagation remains "poor".  I left 10m on TX overnight and G4CUI (172km), in IO93fi, copied my 500mW beacon several times.  Drift was low, so this was probably pure tropo rather than aircraft reflections, although it could have been both.

UPDATE 1150z:  EA8BVP (2986km) has been consistently spotting me this morning. No Eastern Europeans and no Israel today again. EA1FAQ (1249km) spotted me once at 1118z. As this is quite short I wonder if this was Es?
