It was a pretty rough night for the geomagentic field, thanks to the arrival of a CME from 9th October.
Although I left 10m WSPR running overnight, no spots came in, nor did any of mine get out under the wild conditions. That may change later in the day, as echoes from the mesosphere today may well indicate some Es could come to pass
It didn't look very good for HF operations this morning and, indeed, it wasn't! The bands were open to 15m here, but it was largely one-way propagation, with those further south in Europe enjoying easier conditions.
So, I went for a long walk down to the water, as the tide reached its lowest point. I left the rig running WSPR on 14MHz.
I was very happy to be the only UK station, and one of only 3 across Europe, reaching ZL2BCI, and with good signal levels, considering the simplicity of the set-up (stick antenna on the car at the beach):
