** Personal Skegness 'First'

The day began with some scatter from France, which i snot so common at the new address. Then scatter improved in the direction of Germany.

Tropo began during the early part of the evening, initially to south-east England, then extending into northern Germany, Denmark and finally Norway after 2100. All traces of tropo had gone by 6am local time.

Good DX!

Poor! Puny! Paltry! Pathetic! Piddling! These words perfectly picture my personal painstaking pursuits in today's petty propagational DX performance. Portugal (which also begins with P) came in for a while too, but signals were sparse and well below RDS levels.

I think I can say without any shadow of a doubt that this year's season is not as good as last year's. In fact I don't personally recall one this bad EVER! You can't have it good all the time of course, but we knew it was going to be difficult to live up to last year's season.

Good DX!

It started out as a scan for signals travelling by general aircraft/troposcatter, but a short spell of weak tropo to Schleswig Holstein and Denmark became apparent at 1144. This subsided very quickly and then I realised that the North-east of England was slightly enhanced. Signals from Flensburg and Naestved were stable for several minutes.

As for the Es, I blinked at just the wrong moment and missed most of them.

Good DX!

I was determined I wasn't going to stop at home all day waiting for nothing to happen. In the end it proved to be a good idea.

We have a friend staying with us all week so lots of distractions and I am just hoping we aren't going to be out when a good opening materialises.

Good DX!

** Personal Skegness 'First'

A productive opening to Italy in which I feel confident about the above sites. The opening was quite geographically precise as it moved gradually across the southern part of Italy.

Good DX!

** Personal Skegness 'First'

A video of this opening can be found at: https://vimeo.com/97529442  The opening had many Arabic stations which I couldn't identify. I was unsure if I had Libya on 97.5, though it is more likely to have been Algeria. Same for a mystery Arabic station on 88.3 which seemed to be in // with Tunisian stations, however, Radio El Tarf appeared on 88.3 a short time afterwards so it could have been that. Some of the web streams could not be accessed to confirm the mystery stations.

Accented English was heard on 88.5, briefly, around 1600. It was definitely Es as the band was trying to open around 88 MHz and below, but I never found out what it was.

Good DX!
