** Personal first
This might just be the best day of E skip I have experienced. There aren't many loggings but I am only logging personal firsts at the moment, or stations of particular interest for one reason or another.
Much of the time, signals were strong and there were so many. So much so that RDS became impossible. Even the huge signals from my nearby Peterborough FM transmitter were compromised during this all-day opening. All local radio stations were obliterated. The band became noise for a lot of the time, or 'soup', as many like to call it.
The opening began well before I was up and about and I wasn't aware of anything happening until almost 09:00. Spain, Italy, Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco kicked things off. France and Corsica followed. Iceland and Sweden came in next before quickly switching back to Italy and Spain, etc. The Balkans came in around midday with Hungary, Romania, Albania, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Serbia. Then Austria appeared. Greeece popped in and out later in the afternoon. No doubt I have missed out one or two countries in this, but the DX did not stop for a second throughout the day, running into the late evening.
A surprise tropo started after 20:00 to Denmark and the Schleswig-Holstein region of Germany. Several Danish transmitters reached full RDS. What was unusual about the German tropo was that only low power stations were present with the higher power transmitters from that region either absent or considerably weaker than the lower-powered stuff. I have never come across this before. I know that certain tropo events allow low powered DX to proliferate while others only seem to allow the big transmitters to get through, so why this event should have allowed only the smaller transmitters through I have no idea, but I am not complaining.
Work had to take precedence for part of the day but I still had time for more than my fill.
Even when I returned to the band at 23:00 to check the tropo, I just had to accept that I wasn't going to hear it as Spain had returned with reewed avengeance and killit off completely. Oh well. I cannot complain.
Good DX!

** Personal first
Just for a change, this Es log was made from several periods of live DXing. This is actually the first time I have done live Es DXing for over three years. Not a single recording was made!
Due to potential lack of free time, depending on how busy I am, my original intention for this season was strictly going to be to log only personal firsts. However, I decided to have a day of radio yesterday, putting work aside. Most of my time was taken up with the contruction of a beverage antenna for South America.
The Es began early morning and continued right through past darkness, giving a full day of Es. Most of the time, Italy dominated. Then Spain. Then Italy. Then Spain. Then Italy. (See where this is going?)
Good DX!

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.

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!
