No signs (yet anyway) of North American stations. PY4AJ and FR1GZ are there, along with others, but all these are N-S rather than E-W paths. I suspect this is going to be the pattern in the months ahead with fewer openings across the N.Atlantic. Summer time we will get a few E-W openings on 10m and 6m by multi-hop Es too.
The path to 4X1RF seems to be regularly open. This is a single hop by F-layer.
UPDATE 1800z: IK1WVQ has been consistent in the last hour. I assume the propagation is Es. IZ6QZB is spotting me.
UPDATE 1902z: EA5CYA being spotted. Es.
UPDATE 2050z: M0MVB (30km) the only station exchanging spots with in last hour. Has the 10m band died out for today? No, then I spot EA5CYA again!
UPDATE 2110z: After resetting the clock and restarting the WSPR software (yes, it had stopped) I see that EA5CYA running 200mW WSPR is still a decent signal. This must be Es.
Simple QRP projects, 10m, 8m, 6m, 4m, FT8, 160m, WSPR, LF/MF, sub-9kHz, nanowaves and other random stuff, some not related to amateur radio.

This is NOT at all compulsory, but this would help offset some project costs.

I'm quite liking the really good N-S openings on 10m of late. It makes QSO with S American stations easy pickings. I just now exchanged with PY1VW on JT65. He's storming in at -9 dB SNR, which on this mode is a fine signal.
Thanks Dave.
10m should be OK for N-S propagation right through the next minimum, especially with modes like JT65 and WSPR. Worked LU several times in last minimum with 10W SSB.
David , have you tried JT9? Far more stations fitted in and same TC/RX times.
TX/RX that should be.
Yes, I prefer JT9 although sometimes the JT65 segment will be filled with stations but with nothing on JT9. I usually use 1W - 5W only on these modes. I had 10W today (I wanted to make sure, since I don't see many PYs in my log!), but theoretically I could have got away with a couple of 100mW this evening.
FB David. Every success to you in the (quieter) years ahead.
