	abstract = {<p>The question was asked: why do we see sporadic-E like propagation in November and December, when many of the variables like UV radiation and solar exposure are at a minimum, unlike the very active sporadic-E summer months?\&nbsp; Much like it was shown that North Atlantic transatlantic 6m propagation during the summer was made more possible by strategically placed weather storm systems, it looks like a similar effect with very strong jet stream boundaries also affect sporadic-E\&nbsp;like communications during the winter months.\&nbsp; This citizen science study is another example how amateur radio can contribute to science, and illustrates the great potentials for studies using ham radio data.\&nbsp; We have many amateur radio stations on the air, using modes like FT8 which make contacts on propagation paths that we thought were previously impossible.\&nbsp;</p>
