Get ready for the Sporadic E season

Had a nice chat with Keith, G6LLX on the way to work this morning. He told me that he'd been working some 28Mhz sporadic E over the last few days.

Yesterday evening, he said he'd worked into Algeria and Morocco on ten and had worked around 10 countries this week.

I was telling Keith that I'd been planning to put my 10 metre aerial on the car, as the barrier at the station had been open. As soon as I had that thought - the barrier came down and I'm restricted to being able to drive through the gate with the smaller aerial. Still, no matter, I can easily stop just outside and put the bigger aerial on.

Hopefully we'll see more openings on 10 metres and in due course, openings on 6, 4 and 2 metres.

In the meantime, check out Tony's 10m report on the Southgate ARC website.
