  As feared somewhat, it appears that some rather high F2 levels have been
  in during this period. 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.
