It's one of those things, as with all the most interesting reception - and it never seems to fail for me! "Was it?", "Wasn't it?" Well, I am 99% convinced that it was!
Last year, I adjusted my record of having received Cape Verde by marking the entry in capitals thus: "TENTATIVE". I'm almost 100% certain back then that what I received on 93.9 was indeed Cape Verde, backed up by hearing the same music I heard on their web stream, but the signal I received was so weak and badly splattered that I couldn't be absolutely certain. I hate that uncertainty with loggings, but the received audio and the surrounding facts and figures for the time of my reception seemed to back it up perfectly.
With my Armenian reception, the audio I received on 87.5 was clearly that of a lady speaking in quite a monotone voice and it sounded identical to that of their web stream. The station was Hayastani Azgain Radio 1 from Jiliza. The language caught my attention to begin with and not something I had heard before. There was also the fact that I had managed to check the audio from all the relevant web streams on that frequency , i.e. all Turkish web streams, Cyprus, Lebanon, Ukraine, etc., all of which were distinctively different. Just about all of them were playing music of one kind or another and none of them had a woman talking. The fact that the lady on the Armenian web stream had the very same monotone style of speech as the audio from their web stream nailed this for me.
Then I studied the propagation paths in place at the time. The Es MUF map was a solid mass of yellows, reds and purples, covering most of the European mainland and extending nicely in the direction of Armenia. Double-hop activity was prevalent at the time and I had logged Adana in Turkey not long before this. There had been several hours of Afghan TV reception at carrier level in northern Europe around the time of my reception. Propagation lower down on the ham frequencies also suggested that the path may have been open, though more so on 10m than 6m. Finally, when I looked at the propagation path symmetry of my reception around that time, it showed a classic pattern of the kind I always see during my Es reception.
Adding all this together appears to back up the fact that this was Armenia, apart from one thing - the one thing which was lacking. The fact that I did not hear a station ID. Nor did I have the Armenian web stream running at the same time as my reception, though there was only five or ten seconds in it. My Armenian reception had just faded when I found the matching web stream. Nonetheless, this was the only stream I found where there was a female voice and one which sounded IDENTICAL.
The woman was talking in a language I did not recognise. The signal was very weak, but surprisingly stable. I could hear the speech quite clearly at times and this lasted for two, maybe three minutes at most.
Did I get a recording? No! I was too busy checking web streams to be bothered with recording. In any case, my new motherboard still has problems whereby I cannot record audio from web streams, so I wouldn't have been able to demonstrate that side of things at least, but a recording would have been useful. I must get this fixed as soon as possible.
Concluding, in the same way I always do with this type of reception, I have to say that the logging will have the usual big, fat TENTATIVE badge slapped on it due to the lack of concrete evidence, but everything surrounding this reception held up sufficiently to convince me that this was almost certainly Armenia. The lack of ID or RDS data just adds that little bit of "Could it have been something else?" uncertainty. I could dispute that, but then we're back to square one. Make up your own minds, but the 16th June was truly a special day for sporadic E reception and one of the best I have known.
There are many files I still have to check from the 16th and I am now at that stage where I am starting to get well behind with these, so the annual catch-up process has begun!
Good DX!

Recordings: Unidentified Middle East DX from May 29th - Help please!
It's been two weeks since the spell of incredible double-hop some of us experienced on May 29th and there are a few stations I haven't been able to identify. I'll paste links to recordings of those stations. I would be really grateful if anybody can throw some light on these.
Thank you - John.

I first thought this was Bel RTL from Oignies-en-Thiérache but what I heard did not quite match up to the web stream, although it was very close. I am still not convinced either way. It was definitely not Banquise FM from Isbergues. Any help appreciated. Hopefully there will be some clues in the adverts. There is an ID in here too but the narrowing of the XDR made it difficult to hear.

** Personal Skegness 'First'
My overnight MS recording became corrupted when saving, reducing the file length from 8 hours to just 50 minutes. Nothing could be matched up, other than shared overnight German programming.
On the Es front though, WOW! What a day! The propagation maps looked like something from the middle of summer! Signals lasted a good three hours plus with the Balkan countries dominating most of the time. Slovakia made a good presence at times and the Czech Republic and Austria poked their way through. Greece and Albania also kept trying to take control and there was one moment were Albanian signals took over across the band. But there was very little RDS and the Greek stations were mostly impossible to trace due to a shortage of web streams. Arabic signals were heard at times and one can only wonder where they were coming from. Double hop from the Middle East? There certainly weren't many Tunisian or Algerian possibilities. Conditions didn't really seem to swing that way anyway. Certainly this was one of the more interesting Es openings of the whole season!

** Personal Skegness 'First'
My overnight MS recording became corrupted when saving, reducing the file length from 8 hours to just 50 minutes. Nothing could be matched up, other than shared overnight German programming.
On the Es front though, WOW! What a day! The propagation maps looked like something from the middle of summer! Signals lasted a good three hours plus with the Balkan countries dominating most of the time. Slovakia made a good presence at times and the Czech Republic and Austria poked their way through. Greece and Albania also kept trying to take control and there was one moment were Albanian signals took over across the band. But there was very little RDS and the Greek stations were mostly impossible to trace due to a shortage of web streams. Arabic signals were heard at times and one can only wonder where they were coming from. Double hop from the Middle East? There certainly weren't many Tunisian or Algerian possibilities. Conditions didn't really seem to swing that way anyway. Certainly this was one of the more interesting Es openings of the whole season!

** Personal Skegness 'First'
I had to go out this morning and missed most of the opening. I watched remotely, helpless as TeamViewer software just froze while Bulgaria was coming through. This was extremely annoying. After several attempts I finally managed to get CamStudio (I hate it with a passion) t record what was coming in on 87.6. An hour or two later, still connecting remotely, I stopped CamStudio to save the file. Of course it crashed and I lost the lot. So I swore (I did, believe me!) that I would invest in a full and registered version of Bandicam, so I did. That's the last time CamStudio messes up my DXing!
Luckily, my return home saw the Es opening still in progress and it was a decent top-of-the-band opening to the Balkans with quite a few personal firsts, some of which were less than 1kW. A bit of detective work solved most of my unids, though a few remain. Signals were very good, reaching 50dBf at best, without RF or IF boost!
