Hi  MF

 

Last night two unique decodes from Pascal, FR5DH. There were no decodes since may 21th

The DST has been high this days but there were many Solar X ray flares untill this settle down yesterday

 

Almost one moth for solstice and counting ! ;-)

Hi MF

 

On more night of good conditions as DST keeps up http://wdc.kugi.kyoto-u.ac.jp/dst_realtime/presentmonth/

Hi Pascal, MF

 

Last night we got some spots again

I'm afraid (and really hope) that there is no correlation between earthquakes and MF propagation

 

But really wondering why I'm getting so good chances in this path. It is not by brute force and ERP power

So, the other possibility is antenna radiation pattern in vertical plane. The 90m vertical has probably a

very low radiation pattern. And at sea coast that means even more chances to get a very flat take off

angle to FR5. So low that may be I can reach there with four hops instead of five, which would be the

case for an average antenna with higer radiation angle

 

Four hops for 8783Km distance is about 2196Km per hop. Which is under the theoretical maximum

of 2235Km for an E layer situated at 100Km height

 

Path profile from here to Reunion, providing four 2196Km hops shows that first hop would land in south

Libya desert area, second in Sudan desert and third into the ocean, not far away from the coast of Kenia

That third bouncing in sea water would be a bonus for a weak signal to reach Reunion in the next bounce at 

decodable levels. With five shorter hops the third would land on ground and the extra attenuation may

left no much for a fourth hop to the ocean and then a five one

 

This are just my thoughts. Would be interesting to know experts opinion

Hi MF,
I am not a specialist in the MF propagation and earthquakes, but I ask if the recent earthquakes in Mayotte Island have influenced the reception here. Mayotte is on the path between EA and FR:
