17. May 2009
The ES season 2009 has started. The Sporadic E developped over OE and QSO's were possible between G/F/DL/PA into SV/LZ/YU/YO.
The season might have started at around 12:00 as PA4PS reports to be called by RX1AS in SSB while in QSO in FSK. The signal was 59+ for several minutes. Max. MUF was at 170 MHz during QSO PA4EME - YU2DX. |

After as well here some signals occured but it stations was not workable in the QSB. Best DX today on 3m was Radio Istanbul (PI:3407) over 20min S9++. Lets hope for the further openings to be more fun at JO31... 73 de Guy DL8EBW Team of MMMonVHF |

Radi, LZ2ZY was a great signal and it was nice to have a chat while we waited for activity. Surprised so few on at the start, maybe people were busy with the Sunday Roast. It was open a long time but quite selective. muf was above 100MHz for approaching 3 hours, something just had to happen. Gonna be a good week but please es after qrl 18:00utc so I can work some more ;) 73 de Dave |
