10m Is At It Again.

After a low in solar activity it is now up again. Solar flux 121 that last two days is quite a bit, and a daily sunspot number of over 100.

10 has seriously woken up this week end.

From East Asia in the morning and almost until noon, Australia morning/noon, and fro the first time I have seen it in Cycle 25. my receiver spotted New Zealand. 

Around noon the 4X6TU was through, and in the mid afternoon the South Americans were there, lots of them.

Then, still mid afternoon I heard the 4U1UN beacon in New York was there while I was elsewhere in the house. Checking the PSK-reporter, yes, sure enough there were several spots from the East Coast of  the US. 

Then a bit quiet in the early evening, and suddenly spots from near the West Coast of the US, around 9PM local time here. This looks very much like trans-polar propagation, not unheard of at this time of the year.

Definitely an interesting day on 10m.
