Sunspot number has dropped back to single figures standing at 83 today. K=4 suggesting reasonably disturbed conditions. 10m is expected to be "poor" today. I am not expecting great things of 10m today, although some single hop F2 is possible and Es across Europe is always possible at this time of year.
UPDATE 0910z: So far, the only 10m spots have been from local G4IKZ (18km). No 10m Es and no 10m F2 yet.
UPDATE 1046z: Still just being spotted by local G4IKZ (18km) and nobody else on 10m. I see the Southgate News is reporting a moderate geomagnetic storm. See http://www.southgatearc.org/news/2015/may/geomagnetic_storm_on_may_19th.htm#.VVsVTkZQqPc .
UPDATE 1535z: Still only G4IKZ (18km) spotting my 10m WSPR beacon. This is a bad day. Otherwise a total blank!
UPDATE 1600z: K has reduced to 2 (was 4) suggesting conditions are improving. I wonder if we will see any DX this evening on 10m?
UPDATE 1755z: Indeed a totally dire day, so far, on 10m WSPR with just local spots: no F2, no Es, nothing DXwise at all.
