Evening Es on 6m
Just CN8LI (2113km) at 1724z at -6dB S/N this evening via 6m Es. Otherwise very quiet on 6m. Most spots were by G4IKZ (18km) who has been spotting me all day. A few spots from G4KPX (14km) too.

Hi Roger,
I let swspr run on 6m today and to my surprise my 10 watt signal reached 4X1RF, Israel. No UK stations for me today unfortunately. 73 Ron PA2RF
Ron, I have been spotted 9 times (1W ERP here on WSPR) by 4X1RF and it is 3519km from me.
Seems too far for Es and no stations copied at intermediate range if multi-hop Es. Any thoughts?
Double-hop Es ?

With double-hop (or even three-hop) Es I'd expect to copy at least some intermediate stations at the first (or second) hop. In my case there were NOT stations audible on the path at all, just 4X1RF. I agree multi-hop Es is most probable, but I have a little bit of doubt about it being F2. Also CN8LI could be F2 as well?
