Sporadic-E on 28 MHz - Sun 28th Apr 2019

Like previous day, there was plenty of Sporadic-E about on 28 MHz on Sunday the 28th of April 2019. The band opened at about 07:30 UTC which seems a bit earlier than usual. The band also closed at about 14:00 UTC.

One thing I did notice was that one the Sporadic-E faded away, the propagation on the other HF bands like 17m, 15m and 12m really died as well. With the solar flux down around 70, the higher HF bands are very dependent on Sporadic-E for any propagation at the moment.

These are the FT8 signals heard on 28 MHz...

The propagation seemed a bit more southerly than previous days favouring the south of Germany, the north of Italy and Spain.

Only one double hop Sporadic-E signal was heard and that was in Ukraine.

There were some very weak signals later in the day but I didn't have the software running. South America? I can't be sure so I'll have to go with what I did hear for sure.

These are the beacons heard...
