I keep forgetting to check out HF. I assume the propagation has opened up some lately.

Solar activity has been creeping up lately - we've had only a few days without any sunspots, so maybe- just maybe - Cycle 24 has begun. In addition, we're approaching a change in season, and sometimes this is also good for propagation (slowly gaining additional daylight...)

One can only hope 73 Mike
