Post by: ~SIGINT~ on February 06, 2022, 1432 UTC: 14:30 UTC - Weak and barely readable. Actual frequency: 21459.650 kHz;
14:38 UTC - Conditions improving with Station ID and thanking HFU listeners. Will be on this frequency until 15:00 UTC then will be switching to the 40 metre band;
15:04 UTC - Station ID and nothing else heard. Most likely has now switched to the 40 metre band.

15075 kHz
15:18 UTC - Weak unreadable. I have a carrier but audio is at the noise floor level and is occasionally breaking through.

Post by: cupid radio on February 06, 2022, 1601 UTC: Thank you all for the nice reports, having a great time here on air.
Maybe it whas not the best idea to close down on 21.460 mhz,
its only the beginning of the new cycle, 12 years ago i use 21.460 mhz for the last time
Always fun when the higher bandsw are open

Post by: Andrew Yoder on February 06, 2022, 1656 UTC: Nice signal this morning with techno, etc. Hope the conditions hold up in case any more SSTVs are sent. Great to hear Cupid again after a few years!

Yes, band openings are high in frequency with this new solar cycle and sometimes surprising. As can be seen below, to North America, by prediction the 21 MHz frequency had a 14 dB better signal to noise ratio over the 15 MHz frequency.
