Saturday 1st May 2021: In contrast to the previous day, the 28 MHz band was pretty poor with just a weak Sporadic-E opening to the northern parts of
Spain and Portugal.The only unusual signals were those from South America. While it has been very common to hear the south of Brazil, it's unusual to
hear stations from Venezuela, Ecuador and Costa Rica.
