Es season

The Es season is well with us again. The usual sport is working loads of short skip on VHF. 

Later in the season people get excited by far more distant E layer propagation such as across the Atlantic.

Often DX may be worked with really low power . Signals can be fleeting but strong and often quite localised.

When I first came to Cambridge I recall hearing 2m AM signals from Italy as strong as locals.
