www.fmdx.es: #fmdx : Band II Sporadic E Loggings for 5 May 2016

Hi All,

Today featured the first Band II Es opening of the season into Spain and Portugal. A decent opening too, with the MUF reaching out to the top of the band. Some unusual areas in Spain could be received. Several stations that were audible are more common with tropo than with Es.
A good start to the DX season!

Best regards,
Janpeter van Dijk, Zoetermeer, The Netherlands.
