Monday the 20th of May 2019 was a much more subdued day on 28 MHz with fewer signals heard on the band.
The morning was particularly poor with very weak signals. The evening was a bit better but the signals were never that strong.
As can be seen from the map above, there were a few double hop Sporadic-E signals from the Canary Islands, Sicily, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania and Moldova.
It was the kind of day where you might hear plenty of signals on FT8 buried in the noise but very little elsewhere.
It was as if the footprint of the Sporadic-E was very patchy as it moved around.
Just three beacons were heard....

DB0UM/B near the Baltic coast on the German-Polish border was an interesting one. It was a reasonable signal of about 529 when I heard it yet there were no FT8 spots on the map from that area to suggest the band was open. Lesson... FT8 spots don't show the full story, you need to tune around as well.
At the moment, the solar flux is at about 70 and it is really noticeable how poor the higher HF bands when there is no Sporadic-E about. There can be plenty of signals on 14 MHz but 18 MHz and above are very quiet.
In total, I uploaded 292 reports from 206 stations in 30 countries to the PSK Reporter website today.
