    17,000km opening on 50 MHz between Europe and Australia - 18th July 2021

    Posted: 18 Jul 2021 10:46 PM PDT https://ei7gl.blogspot.com/2021/07/17000km-opening-on-50-mhz-between.html



    Saturday 18th July 2021: After a lull on the 17th, the path on 50 MHz
    between Europe and Australia opened up again on the 18th. The longest path
    I could find was 17,122kms from F4ARU in France to VK3ZYC in Victoria.
    From what I can tell, this 6m opening seems to have been mainly confined to the VK1 and VK3 area of SE Australia. In Europe, there was a limit as to
    how far north it went.
    The opening seems to have started around 04:45 UTC and lasted until about
    06:15 UTC. This is similar to previous openings and suggests that it is dependent on the position of the sun.
    These are the DX spots from the opening...
