This was my personal best opening I have known to CZE and SVK. It was purely accidental too as I was only recording the top of the band for meteor scatter, not expecting any Es. My antenna was vertical; and pointing north-east too.
Due to time constraints I am only logging personal firsts and other stations of interest, so my loggings do not reflect the conditions for the day.

Holbeach Log: 2020-06-14 (Es: DNK S)
88.0 1120 S Star FM, Vännäs/Granlundsberget TM (vb) E245 1629km **
88.6 1126 S RIX FM, Ånge (vn) Jingle ID 1381km **
101.2 1155 S Megapol, Unlisted site E243 MEGAPOL_ **
97.2 1224 DNK DR P3, Rangstrup/Gammel Tøndervej 28 (sdk) More likely to be Es due to signal
strength 9203 617km **
91.8 1231 S SR P1, Arjeplog/Galtispuoda TM (no) 300 watts. As 88.3 1736km
** Personal first
I am quite sure that my reception of Rangstrup on 97.2 was sporadic E. Although I can receive the Rangstrup transmitter on aircraft/troposcatter, this transmitter never reaches anything close to RDS levels in these modes and is only ever down in the noise. It's rare too and and requires good scatter conditions. I would find it hard to believe that it came up to RDS levels by chance at this time, so I am logging this a 100% sporadic E. I even went as far as monitoring 97.2 for four hours after the Es event and Rangstrup did not surface once. This beats my shortest sporadic E distance record by 23 km. Rangstrup is 617 km. This overtakes my previous record of 640 km from 98.7 NDR Kultur from Hannover Hemmingen (nds) on June 21st 2015.

** Personal first
This might just be the best day of E skip I have experienced. There aren't many loggings but I am only logging personal firsts at the moment, or stations of particular interest for one reason or another.
Much of the time, signals were strong and there were so many. So much so that RDS became impossible. Even the huge signals from my nearby Peterborough FM transmitter were compromised during this all-day opening. All local radio stations were obliterated. The band became noise for a lot of the time, or 'soup', as many like to call it.
The opening began well before I was up and about and I wasn't aware of anything happening until almost 09:00. Spain, Italy, Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco kicked things off. France and Corsica followed. Iceland and Sweden came in next before quickly switching back to Italy and Spain, etc. The Balkans came in around midday with Hungary, Romania, Albania, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Serbia. Then Austria appeared. Greeece popped in and out later in the afternoon. No doubt I have missed out one or two countries in this, but the DX did not stop for a second throughout the day, running into the late evening.
A surprise tropo started after 20:00 to Denmark and the Schleswig-Holstein region of Germany. Several Danish transmitters reached full RDS. What was unusual about the German tropo was that only low power stations were present with the higher power transmitters from that region either absent or considerably weaker than the lower-powered stuff. I have never come across this before. I know that certain tropo events allow low powered DX to proliferate while others only seem to allow the big transmitters to get through, so why this event should have allowed only the smaller transmitters through I have no idea, but I am not complaining.
Work had to take precedence for part of the day but I still had time for more than my fill.
Even when I returned to the band at 23:00 to check the tropo, I just had to accept that I wasn't going to hear it as Spain had returned with reewed avengeance and killit off completely. Oh well. I cannot complain.
Good DX!

For now, all stations I include in my log will be personal firsts or stations of interest to me personally. This is a time saving exercise as I don't plan to concentrate too much on FM DXing this season due to other commitments. I will look out for double hop, something rare or unusual, low power DX, etc.
Good DX!

Just for a change, this Es log was made from several periods of live DXing. This is actually the first time I have done live Es DXing for over three years. Not a single recording was made!
Due to potential lack of free time, depending on how busy I am, my original intention for this season was strictly going to be to log only personal firsts. However, I decided to have a day of radio yesterday, putting work aside. Most of my time was taken up with the contruction of a beverage antenna for South America.
The Es began early morning and continued right through past darkness, giving a full day of Es. Most of the time, Italy dominated. Then Spain. Then Italy. Then Spain. Then Italy. (See where this is going?)
Good DX!

What a day!
Starting off this morning with low power transmitters in Lichtenstein and Switzerland at the bottom of the band. Italy also appeared with some unusual transmitters from around Trento and Udine. Lichtenstein is a personal first. In fact, I don't recall even seeing Lichtenstein being logged anywhere before, though I'm sure it had been.
Then an opening to Romania later in the afternoon, which I deliberately ignored. It was only a few of the high power Es regulars, but there was some exotic sounding middle eastern stuff at the bottom of the band at the onset of this. It was all too weak/brief.
Good DX!

What a day!
Starting off this morning with low power transmitters in Lichtenstein and Switzerland at the bottom of the band. Italy also appeared with some unusual transmitters from around Trento and Udine. Lichtenstein is a personal first. In fact, I don't recall even seeing Lichtenstein being logged anywhere before, though I'm sure it had been.
Then an opening to Romania later in the afternoon, which I deliberately ignored. It was only a few of the high power Es regulars, but there was some exotic sounding middle eastern stuff at the bottom of the band at the onset of this. It was all too weak/brief.
Good DX!
