The topic of fewer sporadic-E openings since 2011 and their geographical
distribution (Europe has far more Es than North America) will be reviewed in
the August, 2016 QST WA50 column.

"Speaking of the last minimum, I noticed E skip on 50 MHZ was better here than
in the last few seasons. I worked a JA in 2010 and 2011 but have not heard one
since, despite diligent listening. Far fewer EU openings as well for me. I
don't know if this is normal or a fluke, as I started on 6M in 2009. Sorry
about the VHF comment on the Topband Reflector."
