The geomagnetic field was dead, with only a very minor disturbance from about 02UT onwards. The atmospheric pressure is very high at present (1035hPa), and one is tempted to wonder whether tropospheric conditions might play a part. One might expect this to be unlikely, but there is in fact published, peer-reviewed research on this, the full text of which I am hunting down.
Plots of my WSPR reception (only) are now generally without complete labels, as I simply don't have the time to make everything perfect on a daily basis.

Hello John, I happen to be at home today. I was able to receive 4S7AB this morning on 12m FT8 with -10dB. Unfortunately he didn't receive my signal. I think if I had a 12m antenna especially for 12m like you have the contact had not be a problem at all. It would be intersting to read the article about tropospheric conditions. A and K indexes were very low today. 73, Bas
