** Personal Skegness 'First' via this mode

Sporadic E has been hovering around the bottom of band 2 for the last four days but this is the first time I have had signals strong enough to get RDS. Coincidentally, Looks like I got my new Körner 9.2 antenna on the roof just in time!

General scatter conditions are hopeless to worse at the moment.

Good DX!
