FR1GZ (9724km) running 5W was spotted on 10m WSPR today at 1352z at -21dB S/N. No other DX - Es, F2 or GDX - has been seen since (yet). The band did, at least, open deep into the Indian Ocean (Reunion Is). Maybe we'll see South America later?
UPDATE 1812z: G8JNJ/A (184km) was spotted after a very quiet afternoon at 1708z, but nothing since then.
UPDATE 1923z: CX2ABP (11127km) copied at -22dB S/N at 1844z (and earlier) from Montevideo. Yet moretdecent F2 propagation. LB9YE was spotted at 1858z. No Es seen since then.
UPDATE 2145z: With a (distant) threat of storms, WSPR has been closed down, antennas disconnected and rigs and PC unplugged from the mains. Think the risk is greater tomorrow, but better safe than sorry. Will resume on either 6m or 10m tomorrow if weather safe. According to http://www.lightningmaps.org/realtime?lang=en there are storms moving up from France. By tomorrow morning they could be here?
