The month, so far. Updates and additions along the way.

Nothing logged on the Asiatic mini-Beverage at my girlfriend's farm so far due to severe flooding which has destroyed the directivity. I've been hearing more at home.

I hope to add a new mini-Beverage to the north-west at 330 degrees this weekend. It is hoped that conditions will improve over the Christmas period. This direction has considerably less flooding. (The 'Asiatic field' is currently 80% under water and 12 inches (30 cm) deep in places.)

Good DX!

Trying a new format as I don't have the free time I would like to create daily logs.

I'll keep adding to this when I can. and I will probably keep things in frequency order for now. I think most people prefer the chronological approach to logs these days.

As yesterday, I was away from the receiver for most of today's tropo, so I am unable to give a more complete picture, but I think I caught the peak of the reception.

I was briefly by the receiver around 06:00 and had a quick listen, but the Scandinavian tropo was non-existent.

Good DX!
