Although I have been on 10m FT8 since before breakfast, very little doing yet. The only station spotted so far is G4HZW (212km) in NW England. Judging by the strength, this is probably normal "flat band" tropo. An earlier CQ (2.5W) was spotted by no-one.
UPDATE 0947z: No further 10m FT8 RX spots here today.
UPDATE 1202z: Just 2 G spots today so far on 10m FT8 RX. Abysmal!
Tuesday the 30th of April was exceptionally quiet here on 28 MHz except for a suprise opening to the Canary Islands at about 20:00 UTC.

For the UK, the opening started in the south-west and eventually went up north as far as Scotland.
Thanks John. I am trying again today (May 1st). See later post.
