** Personal Skegness 'First'
I have no idea where this tropo came from. Nothing was forecast and
nothing was showing up on the maps. It looks like it was just this
particular area which enjoyed the conditions.
At the time of the opening, the weather was interesting to say the
least. Humidity was high, up around 100%. While the sun was out here,
the sea front was shrouded in sea mist which could be seen blowing in
like smoke from the North Sea, which was invisible unless you were
within a few yards of it. We had taken the dogs to the beach and I had
my Degen DE1103 with me as I wondered if the mist would cause any
enhancement. Belgium and Holland were slightly up but not by much. It
wasn't until returning home that I put the 9.2 vertical and discovered
lots of Dutch signals at good strengths up at around 39dB.
This opening persisted from mid-afternoon until late evening, when I
noticed Antenne Niedersachsen, Steinkimmen on 105.7 - on the vertical
9.2! Returning to the horizontal position, there were some good signals
from the Niedersachsen area of Germany.
Around 3am, we were woken by a thunder storm. Time to unplug the aerial!
There were a few thunder storms trundling their way
north-by-north-eastward and had been during the late evening.
I was not DXing alone though as I had been experimenting with some new
software called TeamViewer www.teamviewer.com. This had been recommended
to me by Cedric in France. Andy in Wigan and Dave in Brighton were both
tuning along with me. Quite a weird experience to watch the radio
apparently tuning itself! I will write about TeamViewer in a separate
post as I also wanted to try Chrome Remote Desktop too, both for the
computer and for the mobile. More about that soon.
Time to unplug the aerial again as I hear more thunder. :O{
Good DX!
