Quite a colorful Space Weather Enthusiasts Dashboard - haven't seen this kind of view yet.

It will take few weeks from ionosphere to recover from this :D

I make myself realtime pskreporter-map and it's actually pretty eye-opening. For example now it seems 10m is open between Europe and Brazil/Argentina. And 15m nicely open between US-EU.

I guess that's that for today - again.

Did I miss the announcement on tariffs for #160m in #arrl #hamradiocontest ?
Or is the #hfpropagation to USA just lousy?

In my latest post, I dig in to solar flux, the ionosphere, and other factors that impact HF propagation.

Been up more than 2h by now, but finally took my first peek at pskreporter.info.

Oh NO. No decodes in the past hour? NOTHING?

Maybe it's down. That's happened before.

Check WSJT-X Improved... OOPS, I apparently clicked on something yesterday which toggled the "Band Hopping" button to off. So all night, instead of checking all the usual bands, it was stuck on 10m.

Yeah, no decodes on 10m at 7:20am here is normal.

For a couple days in a row, 40m FT8 has been a busy band day and night, or at least every time I glanced at it.

It was busy well into the morning today.

Came back from lunch, and boom, the band had shut down.

Jumped up to 10m, and it's wall-to-wall signals.

#HamRadio #HFPropagation is amusing magic.
