Sporadic Es TV Band 1 and OIRT

Surprisingly good Sporadic Es the last few days and I have the feeling that the Es season isn't over yet.
Band 1 opened today at 1300 hrs local time with strong video from

R1 - Inter - Simferopol (UKR)
R2 - Pershyi Kanal - Kiev (UKR)
R2 - TV1 - Vitsebsk (BLR)
R2 - RTR - Novgorod (RUS)
R3 - 5 Kanal - Sankt-Peterburg (RUS)
and a Personal First on R3 from RTR Belarus - Kolodishchi

Strong R2 - Novgorod



As I was concentrated on Band 1 I didn't pay much attention to OIRT
So only a few logs from this band.

Sporadic Es into Italy

It was a very rainy day in the Netherlands today, but fortunately there was nice Es from Italy, so the day was still not completely fallen in the water.
This morning there was fair video from Jordan on channel E3 however with an unstable signal as Syria bothered on the same channel.
Halfway through the morning Band 2 was open to Italy mainly to Bari and Calabria region.
Around noon I could log some Italian STL's of which most are Personal first.
