Sunspots 128 and 10m conditions

Sunspot count today is a respectable 128 and 20-30MHz propagation "normal".  Already been swapping 10m WSPR spots with 4X1RF (3519km) several times since around 0700z and at 0948z VK7AB (17342km) near Hobart in Tasmania was coming through weakly.  No other Australians seen yet on 10m but the band is clearly open by F2 to some very distant places.

Nearer to home G0LRD (25km) is running 100mW and being copied OK here. I have just dropped down to 500mW from the FT817.
