This map of 5-June-2005 covers
from 10:30z to 11:24z. Short and scattered opening this
day. A "cloud" above the HA/UR border made MUF
rise till about 155 MHz and provided a few QSO between the Balcans and Russia.
This animation can take some time (minutes) to load because
of its size. Be patient and wait !

This map shows the evolution, size and MUF of the sporadic-E cloud
that caused the opening on 144 MHz. and it is an estimation based on the
information I have picked up here and there of QSO and reports of European
stations and basically from DX-spots collected by DXMAPS. I don't claim it to be accurate but just an estimation that could help
understand what happened that day.
Also please notice that sometimes you will see MUF rise very
quickly. This is because of the almost complete lack of data for
frequencies between 51 and 144 MHz. that leads to shown MUF rising almost 90
MHz in one minute. You should understand that this is not the usual
behaviour of MUF, but the result of that lack of data.
You can help develop these maps!.
After the openings, please send me your logs of 50, 70 and 144 MHz QSO
via sporadic-E (Much preferably in ADIF format)
