First ES Opening in 2021
Heard a lot of EA stations on 174 in FT8, IT9, CT partly with 59+ reports but they do not QSY to SSB!
If band open SSB is much faster and more efficient!

2nd Sporadic-E cloud opening of the year in the month of May 2021.
Very strong signals and quite stable for at least 2 hours.
At FT8 it was difficult at times due to high and overlapping traffic.
ODX FT8: YU7MS KN05fj 2362 Km & YU7RV KN05ao 2329 Km.
In SSB always work faster with good signals.
ODX SSB: SM7GVF JO77ga 2307 Km.
NOTE: It has been years since I could hear Norway (LA3) and Sweden (SM6) through E-Es clouds.
We will keep watching.

This was a strong Es opening, lasting about 3 1/2 hours without any break. It started with two Es patches, one quite close to me and one slightly too far away - but I believe the QSOs with IT9, 9H and perhaps I8 were chordal between those. At one time the path was nearly right for chordal down to SV, etc, but not quite from here - I did see in my wsjt decodes that F1DUZ qso'd SV6KTL @09:56z but nothing from SV here.
Later on the far patch faded but the close one intensified, until the MUF was very high (>200MHz?) and the skip distances were quite short, the shortest from here being with F0DZO in JN18 at 836km, definitely via Es, at 10:48z.
Also heard on FT8: 9A2RD, DJ8RZ, HB9BIN, IZ4AIK, F1GHX, F1RAD, F5DQK, HB9HLM, I2BGQ, I5EUS, I5MZY, IK0XBX, IK1NEG, IU0FVG, IU1CYQ, IU4FNO, IZ0CLS, OE9MNR
Tnx all for the fun, 66 SSB vs 57 FT8 QSOs, every single one appreciated by me!
73, Mark

All stations worked in FT8 on 144.174MHz
NO ONE in SSB again !
Signals upto s9+ all in a narrow band causing RX problems and delaying QSO's.
An average FT8 QSO costs 1 minute; in that same time 3 - 4 QSO's in phone can be made...
Due to receiver blocking and/or QRM I saw several FT8 QSO's that took upto 2 minutes to be completed,
So FT8 with loud signals can be rather inefficient and wasts valuable time!
Let's hope people find their microphones back next openings....

12:05 EB1A IN53TF SSBComment:
Finally the Es was present in the northern EU.
First very weak and patchy, got some fine decodes in FT8, but no replies.
After some half and hour the signal strength increased, did a few QSO´s in FT8, than in preferable SSB mode.
Unluckily I lost EA8CXN in QSB, ~4000 km! Proably Es mixed with Tr, pretty awesome, but still no complete QSO, sad story!

Was at QRL, just FT8 and CW this time. All QSO ft8 - very QSB signals.
Heard CT1ISH IM58 2530km, EA1CIU, EA2EI, EA3BR, EB5GC, EA4AAE, EB1AO, EC5V, EA5NB, EC5CIA, EA5WU, EA3DBJ, EA3CJ, EA1DNT, EA2AGZ, EB1YK (SSB).
I have been heard by F4CWN, F5DYD/P, EA1UR
ES signals between 9:20 - 11:40, as always QRM in both periods
Waiting for next openning.

It started with two Es patches, one quite close to me and one slightly too far away - but I believe the QSOs with IT9, 9H and perhaps I8 were chordal between those. At one time the path was nearly right for chordal down to SV, etc, but not quite from here - I did see in my wsjt decodes that F1DUZ qso'd SV6KTL @09:56z but nothing from SV here. Later on the far patch faded but the close one intensified, until the MUF was very high (>200MHz?) and the skip distances were quite short, the shortest from here being with F0DZO in JN18 at 836km, definitely via Es, at 10:48z. Also heard on FT8: 9A2RD, DJ8RZ, HB9BIN, IZ4AIK, F1GHX, F1RAD, F5DQK, HB9HLM, I2BGQ, I5EUS, I5MZY, IK0XBX, IK1NEG, IU0FVG, IU1CYQ, IU4FNO, IZ0CLS, OE9MNR Tnx all for the fun, 66 SSB vs 57 FT8 QSOs, every single one appreciated by me! 73, Mark |

Signals upto s9+ all in a narrow band causing RX problems and delaying QSO's. An average FT8 QSO costs 1 minute; in that same time 3 - 4 QSO's in phone can be made... Due to receiver blocking and/or QRM I saw several FT8 QSO's that took upto 2 minutes to be completed, So FT8 with loud signals can be rather inefficient and wasts valuable time! Let's hope people find their microphones back next openings.... 73 Dick, PA4VHF |
