Any of you guys notice any really unusual proapagation condix last
evening around 2300Z ?? I was getting Utah and one other
unidentifiable in upstate NY on 90.9 FM broadcast, but our local NPR
station could not show full limiting on any of several RCVR's. Had to
go out for social evening so didn't listen to HF...anybody find any long
skip of snag any really rare ones?

Widespread E skip up to channel 10 (!) across the country yesterday. The 6
meter ham band and lower TV channels were pure bedlam. Keep your ears out
again today.

This is sporadic E propagation- not useful below 25 MHz or so. But VHF and
up through 222 MHz had fantastic conditions for hours on end.

I noticed the same effect on the local NPR station on 90.3 It
periodically disappeared when another distant station was heard. At
first I thought it might be caused by tropospheric ducting but the
weather conditions weren't right in the northeast for that propagation
mode at the time. It was apparently caused by sporadic E-layer skip.
