** Personal First

The second double-hop opening of the season and we're still in May!

Not much time for listening today with family visiting, but I took a few crafty listens every now and again.

I didn't get much recording done on the S2 as most of the files became corrupted but I managed to rescue the file which had the Ankara reception (Phew!) and I am in the process of uploading this as I type this log.

Good DX!
