A very repetitive night of meteor scatter. Just three stations popped up, but repeatedly, over and over again! They were: CRo Vltava, Ústí nad Labem; Big FM (Rheinland-Pfalz), Ober-Olm and Frekvence 1, Brno. I did not hear any other station via meteor scatter until shortly after 0700 when Radio Ognjisce, Krvavec broke the monotony.
General scatter continues to bring new stations to my logbook and much of it is noise free.
Radio Kiepenkerl on 107.4 was a possibility earlier today (25th), though I couldn't rule out this being Radio Lippe as the programming on their web stream sounded similar to that of Radio Kiepenkerl's. It definitely wasn't Radio Wuppertal. It would be useful to know if and when these local NRW stations have their own programming, rather than just inserting local IDs and drop-ins.
Good DX!

After several days of scatter from Brocken, Torfhaus and Inselberg, all reception has now gone after a front moved through this evening. Even Lille is not getting through. Sutton Coldfield has also disappeared and Belmont has dropped a few dB. This would normally make things good for meteor scatter, but even that seems to be down. So much for a possible peak. Perhaps things will recover over the next few hours.

105.4 MHz - Sudtirol 1 Reception via April Lyrids
Once again, had it not been for W4WDX, who heard my clip, I don't think I would have realised that this was an Italian station in the north-east of Italy. I just assumed it might have been Austria, but there was no station listed with the name "Sud Tirol Eins".
Here is a recording, as it happened. Note the identification seven seconds into this recording. W4WDS has translated to English:
Click here to listen to the recording
German: "Das ist ihr neuer Hit, der sicher bald schon die Südtirol 1 Charts erstürmen wird."
English: "This is their new hit, which is going to storm the Südtirol 1 Charts soon."
Good DX!

The G-5500 rotator is now connected and aligned. Still really pleased with reception here. As I had hoped, the noise I get to the south is greatly reduced now the 9.2 is on the roof. It appears to be something in a nearby property. the one nearest the 9.2. At the most I am receiving the noise at 9 or 10dBf (GTK scale - no boosts), which is negligible. Background noise in all other directions is at 4 or 5dBf so very quiet. Phew!
Good DX!
