Sporadic E opening 6th July, 2009

No Sporadic E was noted yesterday the 5th.
All quiet today so far with only Spain and Portugal. I only noticed weak video from Spain at 12.45 utc on channel E2.
Portugal on channel E3 had strong video at 13.22 utc with a Portuguese film.
During the evening Sporadic E conditions developed to the East and South-East.

Around 1800 utc I heard a few FM stations from the Balkans fading in on lower FM band.
But that was only for a few minutes. The FM-DX guys in the centre of Holland had more luck and had almost an 1 hour opening into Greece, Italy, Romania etc.

This is the live map of sporadic e clouds during the intense Es opening of this evening.
Showing the amateur radio contacts on 50Mhz.
