    Unless something changes drastically, 10m is going to be a disappointment for this contest.... again. I'm not finding much on the band, and what I can find is pretty weak.

    I suspect that 15m and the bands below are going to bear the most "fruit".

    And, right on cue, a geomagnetic storm.

    VU is a polar path from here and probably twice the distance.

    Band was fully open today MUF at 35 MHz.
    Not here. Flux was only 109 this morning. It needs to be another 10 points higher before 10m opens up to EU and AF.

    All find and good, but right now, the numbers are getting worse. SFI:106 A:7 K:4
