Spain again on 144 MHz / USA on 50 MHz

After a few days of silence we had another short Sporadic-E opening on 2 m into Spain this morning:

Four was rather quiet but Six had a small opening around 13z of about 20 min duration into Texas from here providing 4 QSOs into EM10/12/13 squares (8.300 to 8.600 km distance). TF8SM/HP84 was a nice catch around 20z on 4 m, one of the rare late night openings to the north (most going unrecognized due to low activity up there). Handed out a few points in the 2 m contest, too.
