First Es Of The Season

At 14:00 GMT today I heard what appeared to be very weak Es at the bottom of band 2. There was something on 87.6 and on 88.0, behind WDR5 from Bonn. The low end of the band was noisy too.

I can only presume these were Es. The DX Maps website was reporting a high MUF at the time and 6m was active with Es.

So, an early start to the season, but we cannot assume this will be an indication of things to come. Es are unpredictable. In fact, I have heard CBers and 10m DXers reporting a very poor start to the Es this month where they have usually been received more regularly by now.

Good DX!
