[TransAtlantic] MUF at 90MHz this AM. 2m double-hop e-skip possible?

[Mark Casey]

This morning about 8-10am the MUF went above 90MHz here in FN32sb 
(massachusetts,usa).

I've been watching for propagation this e-skip season.

DF5AI and DK5YA have a lengthy paper on long distance 144MHz on DF5AI's 
website. In the paper they discuss theory about the propagation mode(s) of 
3500km+ QSO's during May-June-July of 2003.

The possibility of double-hop (or extended hop)2m e-skip, 2m e-skip combined 
with tropo and various propagation types are discussed.

Any comments on the possibility that double-hop 2m e-skip, or 2m 
e-skip+tropo is possible, or some type of propagation combining e-skip, 
tropospheric or ionospheric bending, ducting, or tropo-scatter, or any other 
type of propagation might lead to a contact between Europe and North 
America?
