A degree of tropospheric propagation is slowly building over the eastern Atlantic, as Spring continues to strengthen.
Testing the paths this morning at breakfast time, I was very happy to make a FT8 QSO (8-ele, ~90W, or an ERP of 5.6kW, allowing for computed ground gain) with Normandy, with amazing signal reports:
I doubt this was tropo. It's more likely to have been a long-lasting meteor reflection, as the signal to and from Normandy was about 15-20dB lower a few minutes either side of the QSO.
