** Personal 'First'

The 9.2 was vertical overnight, beamed east. The rest of the day I let the S2 record the middle of the band in the hope that some MS would topple Belmont 98.3. Nothing did though. I'll try again tomorrow. If I can just identify some MS on 98.3 I think the remaining Tacolneston frequencies should be relatively straight-forward.

Good DX!
