Super DX on VHF and above
About now, JA and other Far East stations are worked from Western Europe on 6m. This is linked to noctilucent clouds that form at this time of year. It is pretty regular.
Indications suggest the path could work on higher frequencies too. I have not been checking 6m FT8 until yesterday.
It seems solarflares are eating the NLCs. There are far less NLC to be seen which seems to be normal at the solar maximum. Less propagation to Japan is the result. Although, super DX has been made this season. 73, Bas
