A few days ago, I had a post up about the new S55ZMS 8-metre beacon in Slovenia on 40.670 MHz and how it was on-air now from its new location on the 30th of April 2021. Post HERE
Just two days later on the 2nd of May, Tim EI4GNB near Dublin reports hearing it.
The signal was down at -9dB and buried in the noise but it still made it through. The distance was around 1745 kms which is pretty normal for one-hop Sporadic-E.
S51FB in Slovenia also reports hearing it on the 1st of May but that would have been via tropo.
S51FB 40670 S55ZMS 08:31 01 May 21 beacon Slovenia
If you hear this or any of the other 40 MHz beacons then be sure to spot it via the DXMaps website.
For a list of beacons on the 8-metre band then check out my 40 MHz page.
