Tropo Continues ...

This is the sort of tropo I love. DX from the far south of France is one of the rarest types of band 2 DX I can think of. It's not very often I hear transmitters to the south of Paris, at least if you disregard Bourges, Troyes and Reims, which always seem to be present here. 

Propagation almost reached the Mediterranean coast at Montpellier. Not much further and I might have even received the Spanish Costa Brava, as has been received in south-eastern England in the past. 

Right at the end I managed to hear TDF outlets at Mende and Millau, two transmitters I have never received before, neither here on the east coast or previously at any of my Nottinghamshire addresses.
