Just afterwards a poor Perseid MS shower 144 was in a good
shape again. MUF was up'n down the whole day through all
across Europe when in the late afternoon the cloud above the
French Mediterranean coast reached 144 MHz at 16:55 UT. First
QSO were made between the western Spanish coast and Italy and
a bit later EA6 was pretty loud in PA0. CT's reached the band
working 9A and S5 and also OE while EA1 was strong in S5 and
9A too. Suddenly there was EA7 and EA5 pretty loud in both DL
and HB9 only for some minutes while 7X was heard in F. Last
sigs at app. 17:30 UT. This was the last 144 Es opening in
2003. Finally a wonderful season.
Involved DXCC: EA, EA6, CT, F, I, HB9, DL, OK, OE, 9A, S5 |
