We are approaching the month of May, and I am seeing the first signs of the sporadic E season.
For a few days the 6m FT8 monitor has shown more signals from across Europe than a few weeks ago, and a few days ago the first signals from Spain came on 8m. In Spain stations of (certain license type) can apply for 8m permits, and a few have been seen on 40.680MHz with my FT8 monitor.
This afternoon (and some days ago) a few Irish stations were through on the 8m FT8 monitor.

Hello Jan, yesterday evening we had strong propagation with RSA and Namibia. I was a little late, no QSO, but have been spotted by several in the RSA. A neighbour station was earlier and worked both countries on a low vertical. 73, Bas
Yes, Bas,
I spotted RSA and Namibia, so they were here, too.
This morning I had my first sighting of S5 and SV on 8m. Things are picking up.
6m has been quite active with ES, too. Maybe some of the spots I see are back scatter F2, I don't know.
73 en tot ziens, Jan
