Nice opening to Australia on 28 MHz… 22nd Dec 2020
There was a nice opening to the Middle East and Australia on the 22nd of December 2020. The F2 opening coincided with some Sporadic-E to Europe so it was a pretty good day.
According to the PSK Reporter website, I heard 155 stations which is a reasonable number.
These are the stations I heard from Australia…

The Solar Flux was at 80 which is pretty low.
