Good solar levels in April continued to provide a good deal of F2 up to
50-MHz. Later, Es began to make its annual appearance very well.

As stated in my first column (May 1970) I hoped to have this be limited
primarily to ionospheric VHF DX propagation modes. Lately, there has
been an increased level in the reporting of what could be classed as
'locals' for the reporters involved. These are of interest to other
members usually only when they too have a chance of receiving the same
stations. With the Es season going almost full blast now, some of these
type of reports may be delayed to columns when DX is more slack.
