As I have my outdoor 10m antenna erected again, I thought I would connect my W5OLF WSPR beacon. This puts out 500mW and transmits 100% of the time, but changes frequency every 2 minutes.
If anyone copies me I shall be amazed. The Es season is over and we are at sunspot minimum. Still, it is easy to connect and you never know!
UPDATE 2048z: After a whole day, not a single 10m WSPR spot. Maybe tomorrow I should try FT8 instead on 10m?

28 Mhz was certainly open on the 30th with signals from Europe, Africa and South America on FT8.
I tried listening to WSPR on 28 MHz a few days back and the results were disappointing. I think the number of users must be very low at the moment on 10m for that mode.
Its's worth trying FT8.
