Conditions Update

Conditions have taken a big tumble over the last couple of days. While the carriers might be getting through, the audio has been struggling. 

Medium Wave blew out a couple of days ago and even east coast transatlantic regulars have been struggling. 

10m has suffered due to falling SFI. I was really looking forward to taking part in the contest over the weekend but there was no point as there just wasn't any propagation. 

Band 2 FM is quiet, as you would expect at this time of year, but aircraft scatter has improved again, bringing in some more distant transmitters from Germany, including Saarburg at 586 km and Teutoburger Wald at 591 km. This and many more despite sub-zero temperatures and hard frost.
