Sporadic - Es : 16-06-2015 FM

WOW, WHAT A DAY!! Many, many hours with Es propagation. For long periods during the Es, logging stations was difficult. Generally there was a lot of distortion on most signals, requiring a high strength to give RDS. And with up to 4 countries coming in at the same time, at least two or three stations were fighting for each frequency.

Amazing tropo conditions on 23 September 2013

An amazing day of tropo, reception lasted all day with loads of French stations, mostly from NW France.
In the afternoon there was a nice tropo duct to Switzerland (Säntis,Rigi) and to Austria (Bregenz 1,Salzburg) Austria is very rare here.


Hepburn predicted today's tropo very well, as you can see on the below tropo map.

This is today's tropo result and what was logged from various countries.

Sporadic Es TV Band 1 and OIRT

Surprisingly good Sporadic Es the last few days and I have the feeling that the Es season isn't over yet.
Band 1 opened today at 1300 hrs local time with strong video from

R1 - Inter - Simferopol (UKR)
R2 - Pershyi Kanal - Kiev (UKR)
R2 - TV1 - Vitsebsk (BLR)
R2 - RTR - Novgorod (RUS)
R3 - 5 Kanal - Sankt-Peterburg (RUS)
and a Personal First on R3 from RTR Belarus - Kolodishchi

Strong R2 - Novgorod



As I was concentrated on Band 1 I didn't pay much attention to OIRT
So only a few logs from this band.

Sporadic Es into Italy

It was a very rainy day in the Netherlands today, but fortunately there was nice Es from Italy, so the day was still not completely fallen in the water.
This morning there was fair video from Jordan on channel E3 however with an unstable signal as Syria bothered on the same channel.
Halfway through the morning Band 2 was open to Italy mainly to Bari and Calabria region.
Around noon I could log some Italian STL's of which most are Personal first.

Through the day sometimes TV Band 1 was open for mostly a short period with the common stuff from Russia/Belarus/Ukraine and Hungary.
The strongest video came tonight from Pershy Kanal/Kyiv on Channel R2.

Cont......25.07.2013 Sporadic Es

After a few hours silence Sporadic Es returned and TV Band1 was open.

However Channel R2 had a clear M1 from Balti/Moldova

Sporadic Es in TV Band 1 to Moldova

Prime TV was seen on channel R2 (video 59.25 Mhz) this morning
which is very rare as normally the common M1 from Balti is seen
during an Es opening to Moldova.

Video Prime TV - Cimislia

Sporadic E - FM Band 2

After a few days with hardly Es, FM band 2 was open late afternoon to Tunesia and Italy.
Pity that the opening didn't lasted long.
Tunesia is very rare here in the Northern Part of The Netherlands.
It is mostly Algeria when there is a Es opening to the South.

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.

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.
