Opening to South America and Africa on 28 MHz - Fri 20th March 2020

Around the time of the equinox can be good for North-South paths on 28 MHz and that seems to be the case at the moment. On Friday the 20th of March 2020, there wasn't much in the way of Sporadic-E to Europe but the 10-metre band still opened up to Africa and South America.

In Africa, three stations were heard on FT8... TR8CA in Gabon, ZS1DX in Cape Town and ZS6WN in the NE part of South Africa. Only the decode from ZS6WN was uploaded to the PSKReporter website.

Just two stations on FT8 were heard from Brazil.
