Opening on 28 MHz - Sun 8th March 2020

Sunday the 8th of March 2020 was reasonably quiet on 28 MHz but there was still an opening to South Africa.

FT8 signals from ZS6BUN were heard from 13:41 to 13:48 UTC.

I got the impression that the lack of other signals from South Africa probably had more to do with a lack of activity rather than actual propagation.

I suspect more people just stay on the lower HF bands like 40m and 20m where it is much easier to make contacts.

These were the stations heard on the day...
