August 08. 2003 - Finally a sign of life after 12 days of silence | Comments/reports/log-sheets/audios to DK5YA

After July 26th Sporadic E was in a very bad shape. Even 50 MHz was almost dead for many days  - perhaps due to the high level of geomagnetic disturbance by two very big coronal holes? I don't know but today suddenly MUF was rising very very fast in the early morning above western Ukraine causing a small and spotty 'MS-like' 144 Es from 06:37 UT until 07:50 UT. Openings were very short and the activity was very low too. Seems that most OM's a tired of Es this year :-).
