SPORADIC E saison, inputs to MMMonVHF and Observation 2009:
NO - The Sporadic E saison 2009 is not over yet in europe!!! See
that very nice opening at yesterday afternoon/evening which lasted
around 2-3 hours! www.mmmonvhf.de/es.php?year=2009&month=07&day=16
It started with an opening between EA/EA6 to I/IT9/S5/HA. Later two
clouds provided good ES between G/PA/DL to EA/CT/EA9 and some tropo
helped the signals to reach EA8. Many stations have never worked or
heard so many EA8's on one day as this one...something to remember!
Note from PA4EME: several stations need to check their log as I can
see that they wrote down wrong mainsquares... and - as well today
it started eaarly again! CT1HZE worked into France and Italy as well
in Eastern Europe with a cloud over KO60. F0EJW reports to have heard
RU4AN which would mean over 3500 km...which would be exeptional for
only terestical path... PLEASE do keep sending us your reports:
