Big opening on 28 MHz - Sunday 12th April 2020


Sunday 12th April 2020. This was the first proper opening of the Summer Sporadic-E season with an extensive opening to Europe and beyond on 28 MHz. A total of 524 stations were heard on FT8 in 35 countries.

As can be seen from the map above, the strong Sporadic-E conditions in Europe coupled into F2 and possibly TEP propagation further south. It just goes to show the potential of the band when there is some Sporadic-E about.

There are some interesting points to note from the map.
a) I heard 3 stations from Lebanon and none from Israel which suggests a small footprint.
b) Nothing from Norway, Sweden, Finland or the Baltic states as the opening was primarily to the south of Europe.

This is the European map in more detail...


The main Sporadic-E opening from Ireland was to the north of Italy as can be seen from the concentration of FT8 stations heard.

As can be seen, there was a lack of propagation to the northern half of Europe.

Beacons... As the FT8 signals got strong, I started listening around for some beacons...

I heard 6 beacons from the north of Italy including I3GNQ/B on 28.3217 MHz which also gives out a slow morse QRSS signal. It only uses 0.2 watts into a vertical which is a sure sign of just how good the conditions were.


As we move into the second half of April, the Sporadic-E openings on 28 MHz and above should become more frequent and intensive.

Stations heard in order of distance....

I finished scrolling to the end of the long list! Well done!

From here, 10 and 12m both showed a very tight path to the south of Europe. This seemed to be linked to the line of thunderstorms running northern Spain - northern Germany and beyond (storm launched gravity wave Es).

Not sure if the Latin American contacts disprove the above, or whether it was simply coincidental...

I suspect John that down around the latitude of Spain and Portugal, the F2 MUF is a lot higher down towards South America. The Sporadic-E gives us access to some of those paths.

The Sp-E could well be linked to thunder storms. There is a define lack of Sp-E further north.

Hi John
I saw two mainland EA stations calling ZL2OK and ZL3IO at approx. 2130-2200gmt on Sunday evening(FT8) neither qso's were completed(that I saw) however it does show that 10m is very interesting,

Hello John, I was spotted in Puerto Rico and received J68HZ from St.Lucia well (no QSO unfortunately). I've seen southern europe calling ZLs as well over longpath. Several QSOs with Argentina were made. See both 12 and 13 April on myh blog....73, Bas
