Radio Propagation

Sporadic-E over northern France is causing a high MUF (Maximum Useable Frequency) over northern Europe this lunchtime. Propagation into FM Band 2 is taking place (1st map, brown lines).

A large high pressure area over Europe is also providing settled conditions with elevated tropospheric propagation conditions across the continent (2nd map).

Apparently, I should start sending stray CQs to probe conditions
(initally in FT8) in May.
