Weak Sporadic-E opening on 28 MHz - Tues 30th March 2021

 

There was a weak Sporadic-E opening on 28 MHz to the south of Spain for about two hours on the evening of the 30th of March 2021. While many of the signals were audible, they were quite weak.

I did have a listen around the beacon part of the band at one stage but I couldn't hear anything.

The Falklands and St Helena was also heard...

As we move towards mid-April, we should start seeing more Sporadic-E openings on 28 MHz with stronger signals.
