This was the best opening i have seen since i started working on 2m. Since 0700, MUF was high and remained high throughout the day, until late into the evening. 4 hotspots seen, 3 simultaneously at one point. Also heard a bunch of stations but didn't complete.

2 new DXCC more than 10 new squares and some familiar faces for over 5 hours of sporadic to me and over 150 unique stations. In total, this sporadic opening lasted 14-15 hours. Waterfall was more like ES on 6 at some point, with more than 20 stations on 144174.
Tomorrow will be fun :)
Thanks all!

14.40 HB9HSN JN36 1678Comment:
276 unique FT8 calls and 5-6 on SSB - took me a couple of hours to properly extract the data from my logs. Over 5 hours of ES from East to West, I have posted screens of my waterfall on twitter that looks like 6m ES. This day, as well as the next ones will not be forgotten easily.. At the end EI8KN and GW7SMV were the only two stations being heard - no one else on band; I saw that last year when working GI6ATZ - no one else on band bar him.
I will say it again - as much as an annoyance to many FT8 is, had it not existed, paths of such longevity, distance would probably not have been discovered.

Over 5 hours of ES from East to West, I have posted screens of my waterfall on twitter that looks like 6m ES. This day, as well as the next ones will not be forgotten easily.. At the end EI8KN and GW7SMV were the only two stations being heard - no one else on band; I saw that last year when working GI6ATZ - no one else on band bar him. I will say it again - as much as an annoyance to many FT8 is, had it not existed, paths of such longevity, distance would probably not have been discovered. 73 Alex |
