Skegness Log: 25-11-14 (FM)

Band 2 Meteor Scatter:
 88.1 0345  I  RAI Radio1, Monte Venda (RAI) (pd) 5201  1197km
 89.0 0345  I  RAI Radio2, Monte Venda (RAI) (pd) 5202  1197km
 89.9 0345  I  RAI Radio3, Monte Venda (RAI) (pd) 5203  1197km

There was a lot more more meteor activity overnight but it was mostly very weak and below the RDS threshold. Also, I decided to go vertical for a change and see if it made any difference. I guess it probably did with the regulars being absent or weaker but also I heard more Italian speech than usual. Worth trying this again I think when meteor activity improves.

Good DX!
