Sporadic Es in TV Band 1 - Channel E3 - JRTV Jordan

On David Hamilton's band1tvdx.blogspot.com I found an interesting item how to clean up tvdx video's by using VLC and a Screen recorder.

As you can see in this video I sometimes clean up the video resulting in avoiding the blur motion.

This was received in the Netherlands on June 18, 2013.

Video E3 - JRTV

Not much of interest to report today.

Only the common stuff from Russia/Belarus was seen in TV Band 1 on channel R1 and R2.

On channel R3 - 5. Kanal from St. Petersburg was seen for a brief moment.

In the afternoon FM Band 2 was open into Italy and on channel E3 was Jordan in with good video, but due to a big thunderstorm I had to disconnect the antennas.

This was logged on 19. June 2013.

92.20 MHz BNR Hristo Botev from Belogradcik (BUL)

VIDEO

A bit of a difficult day for Band II Es propagation. While almost all of Europe was showing high MUF values, the band at my location stayed quiet for ages.

And when it did take-off, ID-ing stations appeared to be very difficult due to heavy fading and a wide skip area giving 2-3 stations on each frequency.

Finally the band opened here at 1316 utc into Greece and Turkey and some Balkan's.

On the whole not a bad day at all.

Only weak activity in ionosphere today.

Second opening appears just after lunch, this was a better one into Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, each lasting only 1 -2 minutes.

However, some stations were identified:

Sporadic Es 12 June 2013

As you will gather by my lack of posts as nothing of interest has been happening on TV Band 1 en FM Band 2 at my location during the past weeks.

But I will remember 12 Juni 2013. Wow, what a day! I don't think the Es stopped this day. Propagation covered from Baltic States round to North Africa on and off all day. Nice to hear Estonia and Lithuania again. TV Band 1 had a good start in the morning with fair video from Jordan on Channel E3.

FM Band II was open for almost eleven hours. Total number of countries received (11).

I won't bother you with a very long list of logs,but they can be seen here.

LOGS

A few logs from the log file.

E3- JRTV

88.20 Mhz ZIP FM - Bubiai / Lithuania.





Catched this one just before the Es faded out at around 2200 hrs local time.

89.60 Mhz from Sardinia Island.
