The first Es of the season and some aircraft scatter to northern France at last.
Brocken and Torfhaus were quite stable late in the evening with slow and steady fades. This was either tropo or troposcatter.
I decided to leave the meteor scatter DXing alone for a few days as I am sure the amount of web stream recording I have done over the last few weeks will have taken this month's bandwidth well over the 500GB mark!!

First Band 2 Es Of The Season!!
The Es season has started!
I have just heard Spain and Algeria at the bottom of band 2.
Where it will go from here is anybody's guess, but it's the same start date as last year! We can only hope that is a good omen!
Good DX!

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.

At 0211 on the 23rd I heard a meteor burst lasting two and a half minutes. It was a jumble of noise with DLF being the only recognisable station, lifting out of the mess for a couple of seconds.
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.
Good DX!
