LU8EX (11208km) running 5W was spotted at 1726z this evening on WSPR at -25dB S/N. This is clearly N-S F2 propagation, much to my surprise today. Even though the sunspot count was just 25, it goes to show there can still be very decent DX around. going N - S. I assume my lower power was buried in the local noise at his end. And/or there was no propagation when I was TXing.

LU8EX is just NW of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is still possible other S.Americans will be seen before the day is over.
UPDATE 1925z: LU8EX has now been spotted 5 times at up to -13dB S/N (strong), No other S.Americans seen so far this evening. At this strength I am surprised not to have been heard in Argentina. Maybe LU8EX has no WSPR RX capability or a very high noise floor?
UPDATE 2025z: No further F2 sen here after 1902z (LU8EX).
