Sporadic Es in TV Band 1 to Moldova

Prime TV was seen on channel R2 (video 59.25 Mhz) this morning
which is very rare as normally the common M1 from Balti is seen
during an Es opening to Moldova.

Sporadic E - FM Band 2

After a few days with hardly Es, FM band 2 was open late afternoon to Tunesia and Italy.
Pity that the opening didn't lasted long.
Tunesia is very rare here in the Northern Part of The Netherlands.
It is mostly Algeria when there is a Es opening to the South.
