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.

Good DX!

** 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.

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.

I was pleased to catch the Azores once again. They have been received equally as regularly as Italy and the Balkans this season!

I have returned to reporting loggings in chronological order as I feel this will help considering these rapidly changing conditions.

** Personal first

I have returned to reporting loggings in chronological order as I feel this will help considering these rapidly changing conditions.

This log does not necessarily reflect the conditions for the day. Due to time constraints I am only logging personal firsts and other stations of interest.

Good DX!
