K3NAL (5930km) - 10m WSPR

As K3NAL has just been spotted here on 10m WSPR at 1444z, I have at , 1455z, decided to QSY back up to 6m, ever hopeful of some stateside 6m DX! This is E-W propagation so almost certainly multi-hop Es, not F2.

At some point I must get lucky and see some multi-hop Es on 6m. Will today be the day? Who knows.

Surprise, surprise! North America on 10m

K3NAL has been spotted here on 10m WSPR at 1918z, 1948z and 2008z.   At 1936z, 1942z and 2016z WB5WPA (7591km) was spotted.

I was quite surprised to see the band open in this direction. Conditions N-S were just average only so I thought N.America was unlikely. Again, WSPR indicating openings.  WB5WPA and CX2ABP had quite a bit of Doppler at times - equatorial spread-F the mode involved indirectly or directly? Wondering if the N.Americans we coming in via an indirect path?

UPDATE 2050z:  Just been spotted by VE1MDO at 2046z.
