It's 50.313 Alan, not been near the radio for a few hours, but it is the season where Winter Es can happen
Will give it a blast now for a short while.

Last one of the day IK3BNO 1260Km (FT8). Almost certainly all contacts today were meteor assisted Es as we are in the middle of the Quadrantids shower.

28MHz was starting to show signals from Scandinavia which is fairly unusual so I took a look at 50MHZ and managed to work SM3GSK and LA5LJA on FT8

This Thursday (and every second Thursday of the month) there is a 6 metre activity contest from 20:00 to 22:30. Not everyone likes contests, but it's hardly likely to be wall to wall on 50MHz.
Chance of some good tropo too, although that may be better on Friday.

My last post highlighted a problem all round. Mirko (9A2ID) and I just think there is a lack of activity on 50MHz, just think how many new countries etc could have been worked in those 50+ minutes where we heard each other at very good signal levels and we both heard nobody else. FOR NEARLY AN HOUR!
If you have a 50MHz capable radio, at least put up a dipole and listen from time to time and monitor on PSK reporter if something may be going down
