FM Es-season has been lousy so far. Even I have been quite active (and able to monitor remote via my mobile phone), Es-openings have been few and short. So far:

14.5. the first and the best day so far. Several short openings along the day. At first some AUT/DL then Italy and Slovenia and finally some French + BBC.
15.5. very short opening giving big stations from Germany and Belgium
16.5. short Yugo-opening, 90.20 Radio K4 Shqip gave me new country heard (not QSLed so far)
27.5. short one to Italy, only 88.70 Radio Maria identified
29.5. 10 minute low band opening to Italy, in the evening short opening to Romania
2.6. in the morning Bolid FM from Russia, not much else. Then some short bursts from Italy. After 12z about 10 min opening to Italy.
3.6. Radio Beograd 1 90.9 almost alone on the band
5.6. very short opening, only Ö3 Hitradio identified.
9.6. short up and down opening to France. Long skip over 2000 km.
12.6. evening opening to BLR/UKR with short skip. Only 88.5 BR Kanal Kultura (1044 km) and 88.7 Radio 24 (1212 km) identified.

After the last post I found Mayotte 1458 from our Aihkiniemi files. By my suprise they also verified my email quickly giving me a new country confirmation. Also I’ve got more QSLs for 2014 FM f/ups. And even new season started on FM. I heard few new stations both on 14th and 15th of May.

Few new QSLs arrived. I have also now f/upped some old FM-reports from 2013 and got some replies. Next I will do same with 2014. Also Aihkiniemi unlistened files are still plenty.

(Numbering is one lower than before because I removed one old dublicate from 1980s).

Radio propagation has still been lousy. Some openings to Peru but not much to talk about.

Slowly but anyhow steadily QSLs arrive. I was two weeks on vacation in Puerto Rico and New York, so I haven’t sent much reports lately.

Propagation has still been lousy (except last week some NA, no new ones except CHRF 980), but few QSLs have arrived, mainly for the reports of AIH40:

Steady flow of QSLs have arrived after I started to send AIH40-reception reports out. Asia-side has been bad but few nice AK/USA/CAN-verifications have arrived. Currently answer-% of NA stations is about 35 %. It is less than expected.

I am quite busy with AIH40-files but some reception reports have been sent out already. Here are my new QSLs since the last update:

– BBC Radio Cumbria 96.50
719. HJD90 Señal Radio Colombia, Uribía 610
720. WFAU Gardiner ME 1280
721. WDRC Hartford CT 1360 f/up
