Unexpected 10m paths

Inspired by the blog from EI7GL who is monitoring 28MHz FT8 I decided to throw out some CQs and see what is responding or what is spotted.


Late in the morning I got no stations that respond to me but I found a strong path to G0FUV. I remember from my 11m DX years that ES propagation was almost always there with that part of England even when other paths were closed. I was away today and closed my station after this "scan".

In the evening greyline when I came home I left the radio/computer on to monitor 10m again.


I spotted LU1MPK and a ZP (Paraquay) station several times. I saw signals with as strongest -9dB.
If I was at the radio at that time I could certainly have a chance to work one of them.
