Morning John
ZL2IFB spotted EA,CT and F stations Long path last night. I had lost all propagation from South America at that time, just shows that this long path to ZL is a possibility later in the evening.

Hi Steve, it's a different world down on 10m in Southern Europe. MUF is a lot higher and they have access to more paths. If it wasn't for Sporadic-E, things would be very quiet at our latitude.
