Mostly 144 MHz Sporadic E June and July 2023

It seems the Sporadic E season is pretty much over, and it has been a fairly poor one, as even 50 MHz enthusiasts are saying. Anyway, here is my mostly 2 metres DX summary for June and July 2023.

Sporadic E

5.6.23              HA8AR          KN06

                        LZ2LY            KN13

                        HA3KZ           JN97

13.6.23            LZ1ZP KN22

                        LZ2ZY            KN13

15.6.23            I7CSB JN71

                        IK7RWE         JN80

                        IK7JNM          JN80

                        IK7BZY         JN61

                        IK8HJC          JN70

                        LZ1RDD         KN12

                        E73O              JN95

6.6.23 Re tropo, several OZs, JO45, JO46, JO44 and a German JO54 and the two on 7th.

7.6.23 SM7EYW JO65

            DK5HQ JO53

On 70 cms OV3T JO46 was a huge signal 13.6.23 in the contest and worked him on SSB of course but had to go QRT so I don’t know what else was about. All seemed gone the following morning.

A bit more Sporadic E fun in the afternoon, 9^th July.

All 2 metres SSB

IZ7FLS/6 JN62

IK7EOT JN80

IZ6ZER JN63

IZ7UMS JN81

IZ7DPB JN80

It all lasted about 40 minutes here from the first at 1608z. Others may well have worked more.

I am happy with what I worked but Sporadic E has been very sporadic this summer.
