** Personal Skegness 'First'

This morning's meteor scatter was done live. Bursts were frequent so it quickly became clear which stations or transmitters were coming through.

It seems that the morning tropo from Denmark and Norway was not tropo at all, but aircraft scatter, no doubt helped along by the high pressure, but it continued for the rest of the day, up and down, apart from the Norwegians, which fizzled out completely by mid-afternoon.

There was an enhancement come the evening, however, with Belgium and Holland increasing in strength slightly.

Good DX!
