13th July 2021: There was yet another opening on the 50 MHz band between Australia and Europe. In contrast to other openings, this one was a bit unusual in that it seemed to be largely confined to the state of Victoria in the SE of Australia.
These are the spots from the DX cluster which seems to suggest that once again, all of the activity was on FT8...

| 50 MHz paths from DK8NE were confined to the state of Victoria |
It's interesting to note that the opening seemed to have a one-hour window lasting roughly from 05:15 to 06:15 UTC. Local sunset in Victoria was at 07:12 UTC.
The longest path that I could find was from VK3DUT in Victoria to F4HMQ near Paris in France, a distance of almost 17,000kms.
These are the FT8 reports from the PSK Reporter website...
