Great to work you, Ethan!
That was a rare excursion onto CW for me. I really must do it more often, it’s too easy (and effective) just to stay on digital.

I take it back....from 3 PM EDT the band shifted and 6m is still wide open to Europe from the Eastern USA. Worked 10 EU stations before I pulled the plug.

David,
The band is still open this morning (5/20/21) to my surprise with QSB. I got into the Azores and Portugal and almost Ireland. Yesterday afternoon and evening, 6m was very hot from the East USA coast to Europe.

On Friday (May 21 2021) that long Pacific path was open on 6m. I was not on, but the folks in the south central US were working Japan on FT8. I have seen that Pacific path before and I am totally clueless as what is really happening. I ended-up with something like 20 European FT8 contacts over several days plus the Canary Islands just off of Africa. There was a big storm system West of Ireland that moved east and another very unsettled area and ridge mid Atlantic plus strong Es over land in the US and EU that allowed the US-EU contacts, but on that south central USA to Japan path – it beats me. The US at the time for that US-JA path was solid red on DX Maps, so whatever the US-JA path is, it had a good launch point.

Thanks Jim for the information. Interesting on the Pacific plots. We may have some transatlantic paths today (Sat May 22 2021). We have a tropical storm burning out in the Atlantic off of the east USA coast and a very big storm in the North Atlantic, but the big storm is a tad further North than I would like to see it for a good US-EU path. If the tropical storm holds in there and the big North Atlantic storm goes to the SW, then we may get some US-EU paths along with the seasonable Es over both continents. I really like DX MAPS for seeing what is going on for 6m. That is where I picked-up on the Pacific path. Below is the wind look on Sat May 22 2021 12:45 UTC.

Khan,
I usually do not watch the West USA Pacific areas since I am in New England on the East USA coast. But, looking at the Pacific on May 22 2021 13:20 UTC, there are three areas lined-up nicely for possible weather assisted Es: a storm off of California, a big storm at the Aleutians, and a strong ridge line East of Japan.

Hi Joe,
Interesting to hear of the Pacific paths, on a similar note I was very pleased with the transAtlantic paths on the 19th May from here and managed to work 2 Ws and a VE on 6m CW using 80m doublet… not a big station, hi.
These did appear to correlate well with the jet stream orientation across the Atlantic and, as you said about the other paths recently, tied in with the the big storm systems on the synoptic charts. I have had a quick look at the Es Probability Index (EPI) plot for the Pacific for 23z on the 21st May (the charts overwrite, so cannot go back beyond then) You will note from the EPI plot that there were several ideally spaced maxima across the Pacific to provide a possibility for the path. The orange/red colour scale picks out the maxima in the jet stream cores and are probably identifying the most likely steps along the path to find an Es patch. I don’t not have the surface synoptic weather chart, but would expect to find a low pressure area over the western States and another in mid Pacific and perhaps (off the left edge of the image) another surface low nearer Japan.
Thanks for flagging this event Joe, I must confess to not checking the Pacific region regularly, so its now on the list!

Not all Es is the same. The wind shears are different in the summer. Like this data from the ancient Boulder Digisonde.
<fhjoplgfcfheehai.png>
I can not believe there is a 9 or 14 MHz plasma frequency in the E region. This is radio scatter from plasma turbulence, enhanced by a background plasma provided by the convective wind shears.
Co-incidental with thunderstorm season.
This is the stuff of VHF scattering we often see monitoring low VHF television transmitters.
The Lowell software is totally confused by Es obscuring the F layer. And the radar data is so 1980....
With a modern radar, Vertical Es can be > 20 MHz.
<dgbfkfanaceolpic.png>
The strength of the scatter (> 60 dB over local noise) is unexplained.

That has been one of the better ones, the EPI areas need to be seen in general terms, but seem on this occasion to capture the main patterns of activity. Currently running a series of verification runs with a set of ionosondes so hope to have more to add after the season has offered up more samples.
Interesting analysis of Ramey with a very steep descent rate for the semi-diurnal tidal node …, see below.

On the propagation and interpretation side, consider that a single hop Es is at best 1000 km. And Es has a very short horizontal correlation scale. It would take many coincidental Es reflections to reach Japan from Eastern US.
Is this just hitting the lottery?

From here is New England, we do get Southern paths over water to the Southern Caribbean and Northern South America on 6m. A few days back, I got a FT8 contact in St. Lucia, which was about 3,300 Km. It was also interesting to note that a tropical storm was fading out East of the center of the path, which may have spawned some additional Es about it.
And my lottery ticket never comes in. LOL.
