10 and 11 meters is open right now.  I was hearing a QSO between an 8-lander and a 0-lander quite well around 28.5.  Nothing heard in the AM region. I'm in SE PA. The solar flux is 76 so this may be F layer rather than sporadic E.

It's all Sporadic E and/or Multi-Hop Sporadic E. Most of the activity is on CW and FT8.
6 meters is also open.

It's all FM over here, have made 2 contacts on A.M. which was a new one for me. The Polish repeater on .680 is getting the most traffic. Had over 200+ contacts in 5 days. Great fun!

As I type, 10 meters is open from Maine to Texas and many points in between. Click the link in my previous post.

As I type, 6 meters is open  from New England to Florida, TX, CA, Mexico and many points in between. Also open to Africa. There are also openings all across Europe.

Spoke to a German station on SSB a few weeks ago (I'm in the UK) so nothing special distance wise but the chap was in his late 80's and said he'd never known an E season to so long and so solid. He's been a ham for over 60 years! Sure we're all looking forward to the peak of the next sunspot cycle and real DX via f2 but the sporadic season is a damn good compromise! I know one UK station made contacts with S.America and and Malaysia so real DX can be had with some patience.
