The sun is producing a sunspot cluster and some flares. The solar flux is at 72 and 10m should have been open today. Did anyone make any 10m contacts? I had to work...

Not much but better than the last three years! "Solar activity is at very low levels and the sun will soon be blank as Sunspot 1024 approaches the western limb. The solar flux has dipped below 70." Darn ... there goes cycle 24 ... and I missed it rehabbing my station's workbench.

I'll be on 75 starting at 0400Z at or near 3.850.00.
We got 2 spots now! YIPPEE! I have a sked with KD8LSV on 10m Weds at 0100Z 28.400 spots |
I just now got an Rx-only eQSL from a ham in Poland, copied me and a ham in Ohio. She had all the details of both our calls, times, and mode (PSK31).
ETA: Her name is Barbara. 
Gee, I sure hope Barbara is not a guy's name in Polish. 
No, it's a YL, says so on the card...
In some countries a person wishing to apply for an amateur radio license must first listen and log QSO's. The odd number on her eQSL, I found out, is a SWL number. So, hopefully Barbara will be a ham in the near future. |
