Friday 29th October 2021: I switched back to FT8 for this day to check for the aftereffects of the solar flare of Thursday on the HF bands. It looks as if the 28 MHz band has fully recovered although that might change on Sunday once the material from the flare hits the earth.
On the 29th of Oct, there was a nice opening to China and Australia. A total of 8 stations from Australia were heard on FT8 which is always nice on the 28 MHz band. I wouldn't be too bothered if this was on the lower HF bands.
