However, with intense Es thru the entire 30-50 MHz band it is almost impossible to "pull out" any F2 signals (especially when they don't ID anyway). As always, any Es loggings in the VOR band (108-118 MHz) and higher are earnestly desired. On a few days the FM skip was short enough to imply Es possible as high as 130 MHz. 73, WA5IYX
