Shortly, I shall turn on my 10m FT8 RX. This allows me to get on with other things. I can check propagation over coffee later.
The normal routine here on Mondays is some housework followed by a University of the Third Age Zoom lecture with the XYL bringing in coffee.
UPDATE 0955z: My gear was turned on at 0853z. So far, 14 stations spotted. Furthermost is ZS4JAN (9366km). At the moment I cannot see evidence of Es. Propagation looks like F2, tropo and aircraft reflection.
UPDATE 1224z: 78 stations spotted today on 10m FT8 RX.
UPDATE 1654z: 82 stations spotted with the furthermost CX7CO (11111km). On the whole this has not been a good day.
UPDATE 1918z: Doh! My PC was on batteries that went flat! Normally I have the charger on, but I forgot. What may have looked like poor conditions may have been my PC just turning off. Stupid me!
