Sporadic-E on 28 MHz - Mon 29th Apr 2019

There was a pretty modest opening on 28 MHz on Monday the 29th of April as can be seen from the map below. The main opening was from 10:30 to 14:00 UTC.

The strongest signals were from North Italy and South Germany and as can be seen from the map, there was a concentration of lines in that direction.

I did notice later that GI4SNA in Northern Ireland and GM4WJA in Scotland managed to hear South America but there was nothing heard here.

These were the beacons heard...

The French beacon F5ZUU/B runs 5 watts to a quarter wave ground plane antenna. They have a nice website where people can leave reception reports and an automatic eqsl is then generated. Website... http://f5zuu.free.fr/
