June 26. - Far West
Again
50 MHz was open all through the nite and MUF rising pretty fast in
the early morning at different spots. f0Es reached 12 MHz at KM18 (Athens
Ionosonde) while El Arenesillo (IM66) was at 12 MHz too. Nothing happened in
the east but suddenly at 09:06 UT EA8 dropped out of the
noise in F and a few minutes later CT3 reached the band. The cloud was
very stable and Es lasted until 10:57 UT between CT3/EA8 and
F/G/EA1,2. Problem: OP's didn't use formatted spots at the cluster so
that the ES-Robot couldn't react. It's that easy, folks: If Es happens
and your spotting in the cluster always use both locaters and <ES> in
your cluster message.
The DX-Robot will react and send out a bunch of
Emails and SMS to mobile phones in Europe. Causing a sudden increase
of activity on 144 immediately. |
