Hi
es was interesting, It was into band II early afternoon (Italy),
thought we were going
to have es then hi.
MUF continued up, I was aware that the muf was much higher than what
was
been spotted, I cud hear via es/bs DL<>I etc on 6m but never spotted..
putting
muf high into yu/lz.
Signals appeared at ~1510, IZ8??? was drowned by a local qrm on 300,
hrd him calling
a few times but not vri loud. Then it was open for west G<>s5/yu, I
could hear s0-1 from them.
Then Bang, es into IO90 with huge sigs.
Only complaint was the inter g qsos on 300, remember the es might not
be on you
but someone else might be trying to pick a DX call from the local qrm!
tnx LZ2FO for being 40 over 9, g qrm was at s9 so needed a big sig
Thanks all, have a gud season, 73 de Dave

Hi ... long time!
Very brief, fleeting, opening here. I could hear absolutely nothing
of the stations being worked from the west of me. Then suddenly
YU1TT appeared 59+!. It was over just as quickly!

After waiting days for this to happen the first (very short) SpE
opening. Apparently my reflectionpoint does not correspond with the
common one. SpE here was very short (about 1-2 minutes max). I heard
IC8FAX who came and went. Right after I worked IC8CQF. Did hear
various Italian sounding bursts afterwards which makes me think it
may have been SpE enhanced MS. IC8CQF was also worked by PD3UX
(JO22LE). I hope more will follow...
