10m FT8 RX (Sunday)

After breakfast, I hope to be on 10m FT8 RX. 

UPDATE 1011z:  10m gear turned on at about 0930z. So far, 75 stations spotted.

UPDATE 1521z:  So far today, on 10m FT8 RX, 404 stations have been spotted. The usual pattern is followed: east in the morning followed by the Americas in the afternoon. Lots of Europeans presumably via E layer although some could be aircraft reflection, tropo or F2 backscatter.  10m is definitely a good DX band again. I suspect it will remain good until at least 2026, after which time people desert the band. With FT8 brief openings may be caught, even when the band seems "dead". Of course in May, June and July it is good for up to 1500km at any part of the solar cycle via Es.

UPDATE 1922z:  444 stations spotted today on 10m FT8 RX.
