www.fmdx.es: #fmdx : Sporadic E Loggings for 2 June 2016

Hi All,

It took a while before this evenings Band II Sporadic E opening developed into a decent top of the band opening. The start of the session, with propagation into Italy, was extremely messy. Very unstable and generally weak signals, with nevertheless three or more signals on each frequency. I hardly could use anything in this timeframe.
And then the opening was trying to pull several tricks on me. With the propagation switching between Italy, into the Balkans and suddenly into Spain. And back again, while I was still turning the antenna towards Spain. At the same time I heard several strong signals carrying BBC Radio 2. This was again the backscatter Es, or maybe better in this case, side scatter Es. While this happened, also BBC Radio 2 from Gibraltar was audible. I was close to getting completely lost on what I was receiving. Very, very fascinating stuff. And highly unusual all of this.
This season continues to impress me. And we have only just started.

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