Condx over the last week have been very poor, with the sun's progression north and a lack of activity by the sun (except for the M-class flare earlier today!). This has been very noticeable today with condx on 10m showing a significant decline. With the 10m WSPR station running, normally pages of reports, but as the pic below shows, just a couple of trans-pacific reports and the development of domestic Es links.



So with that in mind, progress has been made towards installing the 10m yagi on tower #2. The tower has been lowered so the old K6STI design 8 el 50MHz yagi can be removed, the rotator repaired and serviced and then the 10m yagi can be installed.
