A nice opening into Morocco with the Assa transmitter getting through on
a possible double-hop, or maybe getting a push with a bit of tropo enhancement at the far end.
I got quite excited about the two stations on 99.4. One was definitely
an outlet of SNRT Quran, but from an unknown site. The station was also
briefly mixing with another Arabic sounding station, but there have no
clues as to who it might have been.
Good DX!

The last few minutes of the opening became more interesting as the ES zone moved further to the east. I wondered if double-hop was at play. I am not qualified to state the type of music being played. It could be something less exotic than I am hoping for, but this was an interesting opening nonetheless.
44:09 89.5 Unidentified singing. Mono signal.
47:08 89.5 Unusual music / modulation. Arabic sounding perhaps
48:13 89.5 Stereo station takes over. Turkish?
51:38 89.5 Turkish singing?
52:02 89.5 Unidentified language. Turkish?
54:06 87.5 Arabic singing? Who could this be? Maybe double hop?

The intermittent whining noise, particularly noticeable at the end of the video, is interference my main desktop computer. I don't think it's the power supply. That would be too easy to replace! ;O)

A slow, teasing and slightly disappointing opening, but still nice to have some Es. It was one of those opening which felt like it took a long time to hear very little.
My logging of an unidentified Arabic station on 90.0 is interesting. The PI code, D311, was correct, according to the software - in other words there was no question mark next to it, so error checking would have been done. I received a suggestion that this might be Libya. Is "D" their prefix? I cannot find the RDS Country Code List which used to be available on the internet. It seems there are a few Libyans using RDS now.

New Personal Scatter Distance Record!
107.6 0826 D Antenne Thüringen, Remda (Saalfeld) (thü) Ads, ID and pop song. First time
via scatter! 788km
I don't have a video to show but the identification was heard and the reception was also confirmed by checking the songs heard against the station's web stream. I will gt a video next time as I am sure this will reappear in the near future.
Antenne Thuringen can be heard peaking noise free on scatter when visiting the nearby high spot of Kenwick Top in the Lincolnshire Wolds, bridging a distance of 817 km (508 miles)!

** Personal Skegness 'First'. Underlined stations are unidentified.
The first good Es opening of the season, starting with fleeting appearances of Spain around midday. Portugal and Morocco soon followed. Then there was a decent opening into Algeria with a few new ones. Italy popped up late afternoon and then there was a good opening to Tunisia.
Italy reached an impressive 67 dBf at 1729 courtesy of Radio Globo from Ercolano-Vesuvio on 88.4. This is the strongest signal I have observed so far with the GTK software. Again, no boost was used.
I thought I might have had Libya once or twice while Tunisia was dominating. 87.9 and 97.7 had Arabic stations which did not seem to be from Algeria or Tunisia. I ruled them all out with web parallels but, as luck would have it, the Libyan web streams did not work.
Good DX!

** Personal Skegness 'First'. Underlined stations are unidentified.
The first good Es opening of the season, starting with fleeting appearances of Spain around midday. Portugal and Morocco soon followed. Then there was a decent opening into Algeria with a few new ones. Italy popped up late afternoon and then there was a good opening to Tunisia.
Italy reached an impressive 67 dBf at 1729 courtesy of Radio Globo from Ercolano-Vesuvio on 88.4. This is the strongest signal I have observed so far with the GTK software. Again, no boost was used.
I thought I might have had Libya once or twice while Tunisia was dominating. 87.9 and 97.7 had Arabic stations which did not seem to be from Algeria or Tunisia. I ruled them all out with web parallels but, as luck would have it, the Libyan web streams did not work.
Good DX!
