Winter nights at 14MHz

Over the past couple of weeks, 14MHz propagation at night has closed to all but groundwaves from a very small number of other UK stations.
Unique dark-hemisphere spot, winter 2018/19.

This heralds the start of winter all-night WSPR listening for me.  There are always a lot of surprises, including globally-unique spots as transient geomagnetic effects briefly open propagation to unexpected places. 

Why not have a go at some WSPR listening yourself?  There is certainly a lot to discover and, even better, anybody with a computer and cheap SDR unit can take part. No ham licence or expensive rig required!
