I wonder if those who understand the full physics of ionospheric phenomena and 
their relationship to radio frequency propagation – which I do not – have 
considered the coincidence of apparently unusual 6 meter openings with a 
phenomenon called STEVE – Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement.  It is 
apparently a new and not well understood phenomenon.  I have not been able to 
find enough information to correlate STEVE’s appearances with the unusual 
openings.  That some of sporadic E is auroral is at least suggestive.  In any 
case, STEVE has become an ionospheric celebrity on the Internet of late . . .   
Interesting.
