I asked the group about whether or not the #WARINUKRAINE could induce #sporadicE the same way as the #WARINIRAN.

Turns out, not really. ruZZian naZis rely so much more on drones, whereas Iran and Israel use real missiles that fly at the E-cloud heights, and... well, read what Sascha wrote 😝

Part of a discussion on OpenRadio Discord community: 𝔖𝔞𝔰𝔠𝔥𝔞/𝔅𝔦𝔯𝔨𝔦𝔇𝔛 🇦🇹 — 12:11 We are discussing if it’s caused by the missiles between Israel and Iran AI says it’s possible Noobish 🇨🇿 — 12:12 this would act more like AS or MS if anything 𝔖𝔞𝔰𝔠𝔥𝔞/𝔅𝔦𝔯𝔨𝔦𝔇𝔛 🇦🇹 — 12:13 Missiles are flying quiet high, didn’t know they really fly that high They are flying in E cloud range dido | Varna 🇧🇬 — 12:47 There was high MUF in the middle of Türkiye too though So it could be both

FMLIST Visual Logbook for the day of March 2nd, 2026, as of 13:05 UTC. An Es cloud seems to be centered over south Turkey, bringing receptions of East Turkey, Iraq and Iran in Greee, Syria and Jordan in Romania, and Egypt in Ukraine and Rostov-on-Don, ruZZia.

Another FMLIST log map, this time showing receptions on Feb 28, 2026, the 1st day of the war between US & Israel and Iran. Similar pattern was observed, with an Es cloud over South Turkey or a little further into the Mediterranean Sea. The opening lasted for over 3 hours, between 12:59-16:18 UTC.

FM DXers in SE Europe have been observing an unusual phenomenon for March - Sporadic-E openings between Romania and Saudi Arabia & between Bulgaria and Egypt.

These have been seen for the 3rd day in a row today!

Could it be caused by missiles flying in #WARINIRAN?!

Not seeing anything unusual on FM though... but having said that, that's on the 246x246cm terminated loop, not a Yagi 🙄 #aurora #sporadicE #AuroralEs #solarstorm

Although France Inter sounds as normal o.O #fmdx #sporadicE

On 94.5, Oceane FM wishes us good summer... even though this is the last week of holidays, at least here in Poland 😜 #fmdx #sporadicE

Imagine today is August 28th, we're roughly at the same point in solar movement as mid-April... and we're getting this MASSIVE #sporadicE opening towards Central France, including Paris 😱 #fmdx

97.2 Q Radio, Coleraine, just 312 watts, into NE Poland #fmdx #sporadicE

MASSIVE UK & Ireland signals on FM into NE Poland! Caught a good recording of BBC Radio 2 TOH, and more in an IQ rec 😛 #fmdx #sporadicE

Here is a recording of WPAS "American Family Radio" Pascagoula, MS on 89.1 FM. It was received on Thursday, July 31, 2025 due to e-skip propagation. #Radio #FMDX #DXing #SporadicE

I received 89.1 WPAS Pascagoula, MS during e-skip. The transmitter is about 1,071 miles (1,724 km) away from me at 60 kW. It was received in Clifton, NJ.

I managed this new e-skip catch about a half-hour ago. My local station, 89.1 WNYU, has been experiencing technical problems. Therefore, I was able to get WPAS Pascagoula, MS from about 1,071 miles (1,724 km) away with RDS. #Radio #FXDX #DXing #SporadicE

And Es might become active here in Poland too today... here's how #CBradio #11m & #10m look like at the moment #sporadicE

Well I just tried a scan on Kumamoto #TEF6686 webserver, and while I didn't hear anything immediately resembling a #tsunami coverage, there is some #sporadicE going on w/ Chinese (or Taiwanese) stations on 88.0, 92.5, 94.3 & 98.0 MHz #fmdx #Japan
