Es to Norway at present with various NRKs at the bottom of the band. I may also have had BBC Radio 2 via Bressay on 88.3 earlier as it was behaving just like an Es signal and appeared just after NRK P2 had faded out.

Agree strong Es opening to Scandinavia but only up to 90Mhz. NRK1 and SR1 identified.

Lower part of the band now plenty of Es. No idea where from although the language at one point sounded like a Chinese hybrid.

I have had YLE1 fom Finland on 88.80 and 90.50Mhz plus some Russian FM stations on the old OIRT (66-73Mhz) band.

Strong signal on 87.8 not sure what it is though.

Also something on 90.9 got both recordings so will upload later.

I've had Norway, Finland, Sweden, Italy, Russia on the OIRT band and now Spain! Band has been absolutely crazy today! It's been going on since 9am

Also alot of French speaking stations. 88.4 was strong a while back with French speech and Arabic sounding music.

also getting stations below 87.5 here to for the first time

Worth checking band 1 tv right now. Signals on R1 and R2. Possibly from Beleraus and Ukraine.

This Is what I got

Was lots below 87.5 to that will be quite a few to upload.

Belarus Ukrain on R1 R2 and R3 this afternoon. On FM heard Norway Sweden Italy France Algeria Belarus Russian and Ukrain. Best afternoon of the season so far

Unfortunately I missed most of this as the bulk of it happened whilst I was at work. It certainly looks like the best Sporadic E opening of the season so far, judging from the huge amount of loggings on FMLIST (2501 just for today as I type).

I did manage to catch a brief bit of Portugal on the car radio as I arrived at work and then also some Croatians & Italians earlier this evening including HRT HR 1 on 87.7, 87.9 and 90.2 with the news in English.

here is some more I got

Strong signal to RDS at lunchtime today for NRK1 alternating with SR1 on 87.6, SR1 on 87.9, SR4 on 103.3

Opening to Spain at the moment.

I had several NRK variants this afternoon all with RDS on the car radio. P1, P3, NRK M, NRK TRL etc, here on the east coast of Lincs. All of the signals were below 94 in the band. P3 was received for about 30 mins during a 15 miles trip.

Seems one was

Must be one of my best catches.

Great opening to Poland now.

A massive day and yet no posts. This place is dead. A few years back it was buzzing.

Just a few stations noticed here near Bristol this morning. They disappeared then Ukraine 1+1 TV on band 1 showed up for about an hour

These conditions must be very local. The tropos are very flat here. In fact the Irish stations are worse than normal. No Es coming in at all.

Yes I was getting Ukraine on R1 yesterday morning. I think they finish on band 1 next year.

It was June last year when I last remember a strong and pro longed tropo. It seems like tropos are becoming a thing of the past.

Warm humid air coming in from the east over the next few days. Might be worth listening out for tropo openings especially on the east and southeast coasts of the UK.

I have to agree with you, I remember back in the late 70's when we had a massive tropo lift for well over a fortnight, the band was chock-a-block with Continental stations. I had AFN from SHAPE in Belgium here in London continuously for two weeks (with only the odd QSB dip), this was just on the telescopic aerial on my Grundig portable.
