Just a quick post to say that there was a F2 layer opening between Europe and North America on the 40 MHz band on Friday 4th Nov 2022.
With the improving solar conditions, North-South paths on 40 MHz or even 50 MHz are no big deal, it's the East-West paths that are more difficult and require conditions to be very good.
An East-West opening via the F2 layer at 40 MHz doesn't mean that an East-West opening at 50 MHz is imminent but it does show that things are heading in the right direction.
This is why experiments and beacons on the 40 MHz band are so important, they act as an early warning system for higher bands like 6m
