This season has been very poor Es wise.
The last decent Sporadic Es opening in FM Band 2
in my QTH was on 26 May, which is almost a month ago.
I have never experienced such a bad start.
At last Band 2 went open to Italy, France and Tunesia.
This was heard between 18.40 and 19.20 utc with all Italian
stations from Sardinia and the French one from Corsica.

I’m hoping to catch some Es this season, as I completely missed it last time.
ReplyDeleteWe had two small openings earlier today. I caught an unidentified French language station on 87.6, Radio 105 from Italy on 88.2, and an unidentified station on 94.6.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteAs said before a slow start of the sporadic es this year.
But having said this, there was a nice es
opening yesterday in FM Band.
Hope that you get also the luck to catch a big opening.

hi john great to see you are having some openings. this is the worst season ever for me i look forward to mw season to get some dx 73 david
ReplyDeleteHi David,
ReplyDeleteGlad that I good log some ES-FM.
I never have had a season that I have
to wait almost 4 weeks for an opening
on FM.
The Dutch guys in the western part of Holland
had more luck with the Es same as the DX'ers
in southern UK.
ES in Band1 didn't bring any exotics so far.
Hope you will get luck in receiving TA the
coming weeks.
I will follow your blog for that.
