FT8 signals heard on 28 MHz - 16th & 17th Feb 2019

Another two days on 28 MHz and nothing much to get excited about.

On Saturday the 16th of February 2019, a handful of FT8 signals were heard from around Europe. Hardly a major opening.


Stations heard on the 16th of Feb...
090100 -19 -0.1 1970 ~  CQ DJ5JD JO33
092030   3 -0.1  860 ~  CQ EG2ETS IN83
115815 -10 -0.1 1230 ~  CQ 2E1RDX IO92
121045 -15  0.5 1695 ~  CQ HB9DFP JN37
124200 -16  0.0 1088 ~  CQ EA5GOR IM98
125915  -8  0.0 1635 ~  CQ ON6CQ JO11
130115 -18 -0.2  515 ~  CQ DG1RUG JO30
142300  -4 -0.3  600 ~  BEACON PD1DL
151300  -7 -0.4  598 ~  CQ PD1DL JO22

Sunday the 17th of February 2019 wasn't much better except that all of the signals seemed to come from an easterly direction.


The small number of stations seems to be a combination of a lack of propagation and the low number of stations actually using the band.

Think I might switch back to 2 metres for a while.
