What a nice and huge opening with rare callsigns today. MUF
was high the whole day reaching almost 100 MHz at early
afternoon from DL and HA to SV and TA while Arabian broadcast
was strong into UA6. That cloud moved to the southeast later
while MUF was still rising (see Ionogram
from Athens) reaching 144 MHz at 14:40 UT. First
signals from S5 into JY (!) and 4X4. A nice opening started
all across that cloud, from north to south and east to west.
Lucky boys in I and S5 and YU made both OD5 and JY and 4X4 too,
of course while UA6 was lucky with 9H1 and IT9. Strange that
at 16:11 UT SV1 was also into EA5, another cloud active above
IS0? Later the cloud was moving back northwest slowly and SV9
was into northern Italy and southern France while still OD5
made I4 and I5. Last sigs heard at 1647 UT. At app. 18:30 UT
the band opened again from south-western Portugal to southern
Italy only for a few minutes.
Involved DXCC: EA, F, I, IT9, S5, 9A, HA, YU, T9, YO, UT, UA6, SV,
SV9, 5B4, OD5, 4X4, JY
