** Personal Skegness 'First'

The day began with some scatter from France, which i snot so common at the new address. Then scatter improved in the direction of Germany.

Tropo began during the early part of the evening, initially to south-east England, then extending into northern Germany, Denmark and finally Norway after 2100. All traces of tropo had gone by 6am local time.

Good DX!
