** Personal Skegness 'First'
This was the best day of E Skip for me so far this season. It's more quantity than quality though, as some might say, largely due to the video technique I have adopted, but there was one bit of quality at 1028 when I received Madeira Island for the first time.
Videos of the highlights of today's opening can be found at my YouTube and Vimeo pages, listed in the footer.
Good DX!

This was the best day of E Skip for me so far this season. It's more quantity than quality though, as some might say, largely due to the video technique I have adopted, but there was one bit of quality at 1028 when I received Madeira Island for the first time.
Videos of the highlights of today's opening can be found at my YouTube and Vimeo pages, listed in the footer.
Good DX!

** Personal Skegness 'First'
Without a doubt, today was the most frustrating day of Es for me this season. After spending all day watching the Es cloud over eastern Europe, and expecting nothing to come of it, Es did eventually start, with typically weak and fleeting bottom-of-the-band reception of Italy (lasting a few seconds), Algeria (lasting a few seconds), Greece (lasting a few seconds) and Montenegro (lasting a few seconds).
An hour into this never-quite-got-started opening something more interesting happened. 88.0 had Es with a male speaker in a language I can only describe as sounding like a cross between Greek, Dutch, German and Italian. After a few seconds of speech they played an old Sex Pistols song. It faded as quickly as it appeared. I wasn't recording at the time as I initially assumed this was Holland. The signal lasted only fifteen seconds or so. No other Es were coming in at the time.
A few minutes later I had a station on 90.2 playing what vaguely sounded like Indian music, with a flute as the lead instrument. I managed to record the tail end of this. It too was fleeting and weak, but at least I was now recording. Then nothing for a few more minutes.
Suddenly 89.4 sprung to life with a male speaker in a language I couldn't place at all. It sounded nothing like any European language I had heard. Good job I had been streaming this via TeamViewer or nobody else would have heard it because I hadn't realised that I had the pause button active in Bandicam, so this one got away too and none of the above quite reached RDS level.
The reception might be nothing spectacular, but I am still inclined to think it may have been double hop as the 6m map was covered in it with lots of paths running from the middle east into the southern half of England. There was more double hop than single hop being reported at that time.

This opening began as just another one of those teasing openings, so typical of this year's Es season, but it developed into something quite reasonable amd there were some good signals at times. I love these openings into the north-west corner of Spain!

This opening began as just another one of those teasing openings, so typical of this year's Es season, but it developed into something quite reasonable amd there were some good signals at times. I love these openings into the north-west corner of Spain!

** Personal Skegness 'First'
I am getting behind with logs now. So many distractions, but I found some use in video recording the Es opening on the 21st. This had some benefits, It seemed to help build up a better picture of the opening as I am able to take more time this way. It is also possible to catch a lot more of the opening as there doesn't need to be any time set aside for manual logging. The downside is that you have to go through the opening twice and the second time seems much slower.
Good DX!

** Personal Skegness 'First'
I am getting behind with logs now. So many distractions, but I found some use in video recording the Es opening on the 21st. This had some benefits, It seemed to help build up a better picture of the opening as I am able to take more time this way. It is also possible to catch a lot more of the opening as there doesn't need to be any time set aside for manual logging. The downside is that you have to go through the opening twice and the second time seems much slower.
Good DX!
