Lovely sunny day again.
However not so nice on the radio. The propagation was not good! Other than Vernon I could not hear anyone. When I looked on the internet there does appear to be some sun activity which may have caused a serious problem for DX today. Looking at the good side the SFI is creeping upwards !!
