6m - quiet oday

Very quiet, so far, on 6m with just G4IKZ (18km) and G4VXE (136km) spotting my 1W ERP WSPR today as yet. No Es yet.

G4VXE' signal here has variable amounts of Doppler (up to 4Hz) suggesting aircraft reflections are involved. I think other modes (than WSPR) might be better with so much Doppler. The signal is often there but multiple and/pr large Doppler shifts can ruin WSPR signals, whereas other modes might be fine.

I did,very briefly, try 10m WSPR early this morning but QSYed back to 6m instead.

Sunspot count is 55 and 20-30MHz conditions are "normal". Let's hope for lots of multi-hop Es on 6m.

UPDATE 1625z:  No Es seen here yet still.  This is the second day this season without any Es DX signals coming through. Just G4VXE 136km GDX and local G4IKZ 18km.
