10. July 2008
And another one in southwest Europe luckily in the evening with good activity. Forecast was promising in the morning when high MUF's covered most of the Med area but suddenly around noon everything was gone, even 50 MHz was dead. In the late afternoon MUF reached 150 MHz again rapidly in the center of the Iberian peninsula and EA8 was booming into southern France. This cloud moved northward and MUF was climbing high up to 200 MHz. A nice evening event started, the first "real EA/CT<->Europe opening" in 2008. At the end FAI was strong again from CT1HZE to DL.
