We had some paths appear on 2m WSPR yesterday 14.12.18.

There is a shortage of stations on 2m WSPR or else there would be quite a few more paths on the list from yesterday. If anyone else can join with a stable radio, now is the time to do it.

Len VK4ALF did well today to get some signals across these 144 MHz paths.

Great paths this morning 01.01.19.
Some of these listed are tropo, mostly the ones in earlier time period. 2100 etc

   

   

MUF reached 144 MHz again yesterday 03.01.19

There was a VK5 to VK2 path detected earlier in the day VK5BC to VK2KCM.

Then in the afternoon the show belonged to Hayden VK7HH with his remote station on the mountain.

I noticed that I neglected to report here about this brilliant pick up between VK2MAX and 3D2AG in late December.
Double hop E.

Huge sporadic E openings across Australia yesterday.
2m WSPR detected sporadic E openings usually go on to translate to voice SSB contacts, hence the reason for running WSPR.
There would be a lot more listed here if there were more VK4 stations toward mid and north QLD, NT and WA.

Here is the unique spots from WSPRnet database, some of these were possibly tropo as indicated -

Keep a look out for the next opening, maybe today!

A nice opening between 3D2AG and ZL1RS detected today. Big signals.

Good to see some extra VK4 stations up the coast a little further from the SE corner of VK4.
