Thread-topic: LF: strange MF TA propagation last night

Hi Stefan, all,

 

to get the facts right: there were many other EU's "listening" at that time (> 30), but any one (you) at less than 500 km from the JN68 group.

So it's not sure how focussed the propagation was. But is nevertheless remarkable that serval other Eu's that are known to have "good ears" didn't copy any TA last night.

 

BTW, in my earlier list I did miss the 05:02 UTC copy at DL4RAJ, the complete sequence is:

 

2016-03-07 04:40 WH2XND 0.475740 -30 0 DM33xt 5 DL4RAJ JN68kj 9367 33
2016-03-07 04:52 WG2XXM 0.475711 -30 0 EM15lj 5 DL4RAJ JN68kj 8406 40
2016-03-07 05:02 WH2XND 0.475740 -8 0 DM33xt 5 DL4RAJ JN68kj 9367 33

2016-03-07 05:02 WH2XND 0.475740 -16 0 DM33xt 5 DH5RAE JN68qv 9352 33
2016-03-07 05:02 WH2XND 0.475740 -22 0 DM33xt 5 DJ0ABR JN68nt 9346 33
2016-03-07 05:12 WH2XND 0.475740 -30 0 DM33xt 5 DL4RAJ JN68kj 9367 33

2016-03-07 05:00 WG2XKA 0.475723 -25 0 FN33lq 1 DL4RAJ JN68kj 6292 53

 

It seems that the propagation peaked at +/- 05:00 UTC.

The fact that DL4RAJ copied most of it is probably due to his "good ears" (last night DL4RAJ had 6 copies of EA5DOM, while just 1 for DJ0ABR and nil for DH5RAE).

 

Maybe G3NYK and/or PA0RDT can link strange propagation this to some propagation mechanism / solar event?

Wow, very impressive.
As we saw in the past, JN68 is a special field...

The dst plot showed a dramatical dip. On LF we think that propagation must be down for days but on MF i thought there can be miracles. Thus i started the TX over the night. And see here, the miracle happened!

I just noticed very strange TA propagation on MF last night:

 

During a very short period (04:40 - 05:02) 3 US stations were copied in southern Germany, but nowhere else in Europe:

2016-03-07 05:00  WG2XKA  0.475723  -25  0  FN33lq  1  DL4RAJ   JN68kj  6292  53

 

The signals were partially very strong (up to -16dB) and the 3 EU stations are located close together.

Also the distances are remarkable, up to 9367 km.

Based on WSPRNET data at least a dozen other stations were receiving WSPR in Western Europe at that time, but not a single copy from them!

 

During the same time period one German station was copied in the US:
