10m FT8

As yesterday, I decided to give 10m FT8 another go. So far today, 6 stations spotted in 3 countries with best DX on FT8 RX CS7AOM (1422km).

UPDATE 1254z:  Now 7 stations in 3 countries spotted today on 10m FT8 RX.

UPDATE 1752z: VP8LP (12773km) was spotted as the best DX.

UPDATE 1840z: ZD7JC (7606km) on St Helena spotted. Sunspot minimum? 10m? No problems!

UPDATE 1953z: I had to move to 2m FM for the East Cambs net. On my return to 10m FT8  CA3JBD (11760km) in Chile was spotted. Great mode this FT8! What did I miss, I wonder?

I heard ZD7 and VP8 several times on 10m FT8 over the Summer months. Probably Sp-E for the first hop from the UK/Ireland to the South and then F2 the rest of the way to the South Atlantic. F2 MUF is a lot higher closer to the equator.

What I found unusual was that I heard lots of stations from South America on 10m during the Summer but nothing from South Africa. Propagation or lack of activity?
