    4000km opening on 144 MHz between the Azore Islands and Greece - 10th June
    2021

    Posted: 12 Jun 2021 07:00 AM PDT https://ei7gl.blogspot.com/2021/06/4000km-opening-on-144-mhz-between-azore.html


    10th June 2021: When the events on a day have to be broken up into three
    posts then you know something special must have happened! ๐Ÿ˜„
    This is part 3 of 3.
    * * *
    This post looks at the 144 MHz opening from CU3EQ on the Azore Islands in
    the North Atlantic.
    There were at least eight paths on FT8 on 144 MHz that exceeded 3000kms and
    one was over 4000kms!

    As outlined in a previous post, it looks as if there was an intense
    Sporadic-E region over the Sardinia / Corsica area and this 2000km or so
    hop was responsible for the eastern half of the path. As for the western
    half from Portugal to the Azores? This was probably a tropo duct although a second Sporadic-E hop can't be ruled. out.
    4000kms from the Azores: It's very easy to just look and say, just another 4000km path on 2-metres. To put this perspective, let's have a look at
    4000kms west from the Azores...

    Q. Is a 144 MHz signal can get from Greece to the Azores, then why can't
    one get from North America to the Azores?
    Q. Is anyone in North America trying? Is anyone in North America listening?
    Has anyone in North America even tried to make a sked?
    Other Possibilities??? This 4000km opening raises some other
    possibilities....
    Q. Is a 144 MHz opening between the Azores and the Caribbean possible???
    Q. On the 10th of June, 144 MHz signals from Lebanon and Israel reached the west coast of Portugal. Is a 5,400km opening between the Azores and Lebanon
    / Israel possible?

    Opening on 28 MHz from Alaska to Europe - 11th June 2021

    Posted: 11 Jun 2021 11:00 PM PDT https://ei7gl.blogspot.com/2021/06/opening-on-28-mhz-from-alaska-to-europe.html


    Friday 11th June 2021: There was an interesting opening on 28 MHz on the morning of the 11th of June between Europe and Alaska. This is pretty
    unusual at this point of the sunspot cycle and especially during the Summer months.
    The map above shows the signal paths to KL2R in Alaska. As the signals
    between Europe and Alaska pass near the Geomagnetic North Pole, they are
    often distorted with an auroral tone to the signals. It's suprising to see
    FT8 digital signals get through.
    I guess there's always a chance that the station is a pirate but it does
    seem to be hearing both Europe and Japan on 28 MHz and there is nothing
    from the USA.
    I heard the German Icebreaker station DP0POL several times on WSPR today on
    28 MHz and that ship is currently just west of Svalbard. The distance is
    about 3000kms so there is something going on to the north on 28 MHz.
    I have included a list of the stations heard by KL2R in Alaska below. You
    can check the times and see if the path opens again. It would be really interesting to see more reports of Alaskan stations on 28 MHz.

    3000km+ opening on 144 MHz from Israel & Lebanon to Europe - 10th June 2021

    Posted: 11 Jun 2021 11:10 AM PDT https://ei7gl.blogspot.com/2021/06/3000km-opening-on-144-mhz-from-israel.html

    Thursday 10th June 2021: In this second of three posts, we will look at
    some of the extraordinary paths on 144 MHz that were in excess of 3000kms
    in length. In the previous post, I looked at the paths from the Canary and Madeira Islands to Europe, this time we'll look at the paths from Israel & Lebanon to western Europe.
    This is another long post so scroll down. At the end, I'll have a look at
    some of the evidence for what type of propagation was responsible.
    ***OD5KU in Lebanon had two paths on 144 MHz to Portugal which were over 4000kms in length.

    This map are the FT8 paths that were open on 144 MHz and I'll note a few things.
    1) Notice how there is no path from Lebanon to Greece. This suggests that
    the eastern half of the path was via a single Sporadic-E hop.
    2) There are plenty of stations clustered around the south of Italy and
    Sicily showing where the first hop landed.
    3) The western limit of the path was not on the east coast of the Iberian Peninsula but at the far western side on the coast of Portugal. This
    suggests another Sporadic-E at the western half of the 4000km path.
    4) Back on the 28th of June 1979, CT1WW in Portugal worked OD5MR in Lebanon
    on SSB on 144 MHz for what was claimed to be a double hop Sporadic-E
    contact. That was an IARU Region 1 record for many years. It looks as if
    the conditions on the 10th of June 2021 were similar.

    Propagation Mode: First off, lets have a look at the tropo prediction map
    from F5LEN...

    It suggests some enhancement in the Mediterrean but the absence of signals between Israel and Greece suggests to me that tropo ducting paid a very
    minor role if any.
    F6CIS is often shown at the western end of the path so let's look at his
    FT8 map...

    The map clearly shows there was a path from F6CIS in France to stations in
    the south of Italy. It suggests to me that we have an example of double hop Sporadic-E at 144 MHz.
    Whether it was chordal hop (going from cloud to cloud) or double hop (reflecting off the ground at the mid point) is up for debate. The presence
    of stations at the mid point suggests double hop whereas there is no
    available evidence for chordal hop.
