What a big day – in August! Usually we are closing the Sporadic E season little by little at this time of year. When I was setting up a 5-el Triax on OG6M a week ago, I never believed something like this would be still coming on – after the total flop called ”Season 2019”.
Definitely the season’s best conditions took place on Aug 15, 2019. The MUF reached 108 MHz for 4 hours. The skip was hitting to the border region of RUS and UKR, to a relatively small area. There have been many changes in Donetsk/Lugansk region and new stations popping up, so this opening brought me 33 new reception reports with only one Sony XDR-F1HD. Personally, this was probably the best ES day ever, what comes to the number of new identified stations. Luckily I have no SDR all band receiver – such a day with SDR would mean a total no-life for the rest of year!
