Rare, April Sporadic "E" late night on 27MHz, 4/20/2024, 05:30UTC.

Just when I thought that F2 was done for the night, around 03:00UTC, I was surprised to hear some weak activity on CB's 38LSB on at 01:30UTC. Not talking DX, to to each other, about 3 - 4 "S" unit. Tuned around and heard the Superbowl CH6 hopping, with several stations shouting-out from Illinois. However, it's AM CH28 that caught my interest. At first, thought that to be skip, but it was a couple of locals, one at S3 and the other at S5. Then, someone broke-in from Kansas City, MO. He, eventual came in at S10/9. Then, a couple of other Kansas stations joined-in, and there was a QSO from KS to WV for over 30min. Still going, even after 06:00UTC, but fading. So, they signed-off with each other soon afterwards. Well, that's why Sporadic "E" is call just that. You'll never really know when that just comes around.
