Just before the weekend, the Sun unleashed the second strongest flare of the current solar cycle and one of the strongest, which have ever been measured. This has been signed under excellent spreading conditions on Friday evening. Within a few tens of minutes to the challenge in the band 10 meters I minted a lot of stations from Mexico, Puerto Rica, United States and Canada. However, what this will mean to the spreading conditions of the next morning on the opposite spectrum of short waves?
The band is unusually full of. There are a number of signals of more distant and closer stations. I can find a free frequency to the second attempt. There is some digital signal in the background, but several stations have confirmed, that they don't mind me. The ionogram in the middle shows, that the reflection occurs at an amount of approximately 220 miles and looks very steadily:
Such a spreading favors stations from greater distances. The connections are increasing at a fast pace and quite a lot of signs I hear for the first time ever. Calls Jožko OM4DU with an unusually weak signal, what is explained by that, that QRP works:
At such a pace I am very not getting to SO2V operation. After a few connections in this mode I lose the frequency. I tune and still connections are increasing. I find Števa OM7KW:
The slowdown occurs up to approx.. 90-quiet connections. I tried, Whether a round hundred can succeed, But I missed it anymore. Yet the SSB League pleasantly surprised!
