** Personal Skegness 'First'
The early start to this season, April 26th - the same date that last
year's excellent season began on band 2, we might have assumed we were
in for another good season, but it has not been the case. We might also
have assumed that the Es season would pick up as we head towards June.
Not the case in the UK at all! The Es are actually going downhill. BUT,
there's so much uncertainty with Es and they could pick up any day.
There's still plenty of time.
Good DX!

** Personal Skegness 'First'
A weak tropo into northern Germany with only Steinkimmen at RDS levels. No tropo in the direction of Denmark or Norway apart from the usual scatter to Rangstrup and Bjerkreim.
I briefly observed a spell of tropo around late afternoon where parts of Holland were enhanced to 41dB - the strongest tropo experienced so far at the new QTH! Pity I wasn't able to listen at the time.
Good DX!

I was stunned to hear Radio Tataouine coming through by meteor scatter this evening. This is another new personal record, but I can't help but think that the existing sporadic E event between East Sussex and Italy might have had a hand in it, which the path would have intersected. Prior to the meteor burst I had brief and very weak Es on 87.6 and had got the web streams of Chaine 3, Radio Laghouat (ALG) and Radio Tataouine up and ready as I was trying to work out where 87.6 was coming from. It faded all too quickly. I was beamed south-east at the time and seconds later a sudden meteor burst appeared for a second or so in which a hesitant and stuttering Arabic male phone caller could be heard. I realised who it was straight away and re-checked the streams. There was no question, Radio Tataouine had the same male caller, exhibiting exactly the same mannerisms. I could scarcely believe my ears as the Zarzis transmitter is 2342 km from here! Naturally I wasn't recording at the time, but I am determined to grab a recording of this in the days ahead, in the same way I caught Club Bam Bam earlier with the web stream running alongside.

** Personal Skegness 'First' via meteor scatter
A fruitful day, not just for sporadic E, but also for general scatter with some good distances acheived once again. The current pattern of the weather is one of low pressure and, since Denmark and Norway are now received almost every day when I check for them, I think I can conclude that they are definitely both being received by general scatter.
Two highlights for me were receiving Bavaria on Es. Most of the stations 'got away', with the exception of Bayern 2, Wendelstein on 89.5. The other was the reception of Radio Gardena in the Tirol/Dolomite region of Bolzano. This station is familiar to me as I stayed in the picturesque village of Ortesei Sankt Ulrich some years ago. I remember listening to several radio stations in this region, some of which I *think* were broadcasting in the Laden language. There was some unusual language around the time of this logging and more can be heard on my video at: http://vimeo.com/96703804. Maybe there are even a few more stations in there I missed (hint, hint ;O)

** Personal Skegness 'First' via the mode
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!

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.
