10m FT8 yesterday

We are definitely moving from a band that comes alive in the Es season to more a band for F2 DX. 

For those with sticking power, there is DX to be found at any part of the solar cycle, although in the quiet years there are often fewer people on 10m making things even harder.

Yesterday, the better stations were calling VK on 10m. As the solar cycle progresses, we can expect more openings, more often, on 10m. It is worth keeping an eye on FT8 or WSPR.

For several days South American stations have been romping in. No doubt those with serious stations will be copying far more than me!  As you know, I run QRP to a low wire endfed.
