** Personal First

So near and yet so far!

Today's excellent Es conditions remained just out of reach and only produced glimpses of activity at the bottom of the band. Italy was more frequently heard than the log suggests, but signals were mostly weak and messy, producing little in the way of RDS.

Good DX!
