Comment:
Good ES, here for abt 2h to G,GW,EI.
It is bad for me that is ES in the middle of a working day.
That's why I whistle for the first 1 hour and the last 10 minutes.
1st tour on SSB was great, but when the signals became unstable, I switched to ft8. Due to the instability, I lose several started QSOs with
2E0INZ, G3ZSS, G6HIE ,G3SED (2x)
Later today 17:29z I heard only 2 UAs on ft8 R6DNV -11, and RT6DI -20 .
TKS all for QSOs and trying. HPE CUAGN on next ES

Back from summer holidays
a sudden moving ES cloud direction to SE with sometimes top signal strength up to +28dB.
Unfortunately only in FT8.

Now awaiting the autumn season.

Tnx to all

Comment:
Extrem high MUF, stations from IN88, IN78 were 59+30.

Even strong stations does not change mode from FT8 to SSB. Much more contacts would be possible. Opening started here in SE and ends up into West, SW. A lot of ES by stations with a QRB of 1000km only.

Longest opening here in 2024.

Comment:
Wow, incredible Es opening, maybe my best-ever: 47 QSOs.And so late in the season, with no 2m Es here at all in July. Great to have lots of SSB QSOs as well as FT8. The skip was short at times with DLs & HB9s e.g. HB9DFP worked at only 872km, rarely seen this before, MUF must have been very high. Furthest station seen LZ1AG 2300km, also SV8PEX.

9el yagi not on tower, temporary setup on 2.5m pole, so even more surprising. Thanks for all the QSOs de Darrell G0HVQ

Comment:
Very intense opening, I was hearing stations less than 800km away via Es. dxmaps.com suggested the MUF was as high as 250Mhz!

Thanks for all the QSO's, great fun! See you next time.

Comment:
Initially, the Es cloud was too close, but then, fortunately for us, it moved to the north-west.
Then the British stations appeared. At times you could see a lot of them on the monitor, a lot of people were calling them. Later, some French stations from the north-west of the country appeared. G7RAU and G4LOH were visible for most of the opening hours, but G4PEM was also on the screen for a long time.
I listened several times on SSB, but only heard nearby stations CQ
2 new squares, hopefully not the end of this year's Es season
Thanks for the contacts !

73!

Comment:
I made few qsos due to rotor and antenna problems. Little power used, no new locator. Obviously all qsos were made in FT8. Exceptional phenomenon: from about 07.00 UTC all DXMAPS squares over Europe, from Scandinavia to Sicily and from Portugal to Ukraine, were yellow with minimums above 80 mhz. Something never seen in 40 years of activity. Then, after about 1 hour the same squares changed mostly to orange, red and purple with peaks of 192 mhz. Incredible. On the sidelines, noteworthy meteorscatter activity with reflections mainly on the Baltic countries.

Comment:
Bad luck for me today. Lost the great ES opening in the morning as I was at QRL. When back home, band opened to UA6, but I was at the very edge for reaching reflection zone. Signals were mostly weak and with severe QSB, as none of the received stations came for more than 1-2 periods consecutively. Hence, it was not possible to complete any QSO.

While working FT8, the SDR showing the range 144.200-400 remained almost "flat" the whole opening. At least 2 SSB QSO's however.
Few more LZ, YO, YU seen on my screen.
There was no Italy nor Spain "party" here, too close to the Es "cloud", if not even above my head.

What a surprise, I didn't see that coming!
July was awful, not a single Es opening at my place, so this was fun.
First really spotty, later on more solid signals and rather crowded.
Stuck at QRL so all QSO's were made in FT8.
5 new squares, WOW!

Comment:
20 QSO´s and 9 new squares was the result of this more than 90 minutes long ES-opening, Missed SV8PEX and some TA-stn at the start of the ES.
Once again I was hrd by 7X2RF but no QSO this time!

73 and hope to CU in Persides!
