Spots on 6m have again been exchanged with CN8LI (2113km) in IM63nx square (Morocco, N.W. Africa). So far today, my 6m 1W ERP WSPR has been spotted in 3 continents (Europe, Asia and Africa). I would very much like to spot, or be spotted, on 6m WSPR by stations on the other side of the Atlantic.
UPDATE 1233z: Plenty of 6m Es about today.
UPDATE 1428z: Funny how I get reports from a greater distance on 6m than 10m when there is Es around. OK I run a little more RF ERP on 6m (3dB more) but I think skip distance must be longer on 6m than 10m.
UPDATE 1441z: CN8LI has just spotted my 6m WSPR at -5dB S/N. This implies he would still get me if I was using just 5mW ERP on 6m. Magic band!
UPDATE 1548z: So far today CN8LI (2113km) has spotted my 1W ERP 6m WSPR 10 times. Strongest report was +4dB S/N. Incredible Es. He has been spotting me for almost 4 hours.
UPDATE 1748z: 6m unique WSPR spots, so far today. Plenty of decent Es around:
UPDATE 1825z: I see from WSPRnet that 4X1RF has been spotting lots of stations all across Europe as well as CN8LI today.
