It seems that the Sporadic E season on 144 MHz has started on the 1st day of May. MUF was high for a long period ans seems to have reached 144 MHz. We see some reports for FT8. However, based on facts known at 17.00 UTC, it looks more like a short MS enhancement during MUF high enough for 50 MHz contacts.
