Conditions on 28 MHz - Tues 21st May 2019

Tuesday the 21st of May 2019 was in many ways identical to the previous day with only mostly European stations being heard.

Just like Monday, the morning was very quiet or at least it sounded that way. I had the radio turned on in the background and it seemed as if there was nothing. When I looked at the screen at 12:14 UTC, I had decoded 24 stations on FT8.

That's the thing about FT8, it's digging out signals that are buried in the noise. The map below shows a lot of stations but many are very weak indeed.


The opening on the 28 MHz band started at about 14:30 UTC. Just like Monday, the main opening was to the south towards Spain and this is reflected in the beacons that I heard...

EI7GL 28251.1 ED4YAK/B 15:11 21 May IO51TU ES IN80FK Spain 
EI7GL 28255.8 C30P/B 15:08 21 May IO51TU ES JN02SM Andorra
EI7GL 28279.0 DB0UM/B 15:02 21 May IO51TU ES JO73CE Fed. Rep. of Germany
EI7GL 28253.2 ED5YAU/B 15:00 21 May IO51TU ES IM98WN Spain

And just like Monday, it seemed to be very patchy again. I heard the DB0UM/B beacon in NE Germany but none of the other German ones.

50 MHz..... Conditions on 50 MHz seemed to be better than the previous day. I could heard AM70URE/6 calling CQ as well as an IK5 station. I managed to work AM70O on cw and he was by far the strongest signal that I heard on the band.

I wasn't around for the end of the opening on 28 MHz but it seems to have fizzled out at about 19:30 UTC.

These are the stations on FT8 on 28 MHz that were heard...
