Space Weather :
SFI - 113
K index = 2

Not many stations on the bands today. Only 2 stations on 15m (both JA's) of which Ken JE6UHQ was one. We only managed a very quick QSO, as the band wasn't the best (539).  Lucky I got Ken when I did. Now the QRP streak begins.
Late that afternoon I kept checking the bands to see if it would open however once the terminator (grey line) was directly overhead, the bands began to shut down quickly except 40m which began to open slightly, but the signals were very faint from locals down south. About 2 hours later, 40m shut down as well.
Hopefully tomorrow will be better
