Another massive 2 m opening (just too close)

Another massive 2 m ES opening this afternoon! But as you can see from the MUF map I’ve been too close to it. Nevertheless managed a few QSOs during a short 15 minutes opening when the MUF was high enough, i.e. well above 170 MHz, to allow contacts on shorter distances around 1.300 km. Even made one QSO just above 1.000 km which is really rare! 😎

Enjoyed a really great half-hour SSB pile-up of UK callers on 4 m afterwards. I do love these openings! 😎
