Very quiet on 28 MHz - Mon 22nd March 2021

 


Unlike the previous day, the 28 MHz band on Monday the 22nd of March 2021 was very subdued with only a handful of FT8 signals heard on the band all day.

There were reports of an aurora to the north of Europe last night so perhaps that is the difference? i.e. yesterday was pre-aurora and today is post aurora?

The solar flux was just 77 which isn't far from the usual minimum value.

In a few weeks time, the Summer Sporadic-E season will be starting  which will bring good propagation on 10-metres regardless of what the sunspot cycle is like.
