This is my rather feeble Perseids effort for 14th, plus a few bits of
scatter I had, unexpectedly, because scatter conditions are dire at the
moment.
My time for DXing the Perseids today was cut short due to 1: Daughter
and family visiting (good!). 2: A radio friend visiting, none other than
Ian Kelly and family (also good) and 3: Acquiring a lodger, somewhat
unexpectedly (not sure at this point!). So it was a busy day and great
to see family and radio friends alike.
Yesterday, I also raised the 9.2 to its maximum height, which is about a
meter higher than it ever has been here. I had originally lowered this
right down this week due to the strong, gusty winds we've had. I didn't
get any real chance to try the 9.2 at its new height though as the winds
suddenly returned to their strong gusty levels again. Funny that, the
pathetic excuse of a met orifice told us yesterday that we would have a
ridge of high pressure settling things down over England. Oh, it was
going to be dry too! Being used to their gross inaccuracies we just
expected the opposite to happen - which it did! Their corrected forecast
for today has dumped the high pressure in favour of a low pressure
system (they really didn't see this coming? !!!) adding in gusty winds
and thundery downpours. Oh what a total surprise I never saw that one coming!
(Sorry, another attack on our useless met orifice is long overdue). I
actually thought I might have coined the term "met orifice" but it looks
like other's got there first. Some interesting reading here folks!

I am beginning to wonder if the met orifice just copy what they read in the daily epxress.

The Perseids seem to be livening up with lots of longer bursts overnight. Focussing on 88.9, Radio Belgrade 1 from Subotica was the most consistent visitor, appearing almost every minute at times. Bayern 1, Dillberg was also regularly heard. Even RTL Letzebuerg appeared frequently via meteor scatter.
There were many other stations received which I couldn't identify. It's not easy to record all the appropriate web streams, but with 30 streams recorded ( just about the maximum number of streams I dare before things get too complicated) it was easy to know which station was which due to the regular activity and web stream checks. As always, I recorded all German streams so as to keep a check on shared overnight programming, and tonight I didn't have one single dropout, very different to yesterday when streams dropped out repetitively. The streams to Switzerland kept failing at the same time, for instance.
In addition to the above log I am sure I heard Radio Maria from Italy on numerous occasions. It's impossible to know which site was coming in of course. I assume Poland's PR1 was one of the regulars but I am usually unable to record Polish streams due to them using the asx format - StreamWriter doesn't like this format.
Come the afternoon, meteor scatter was not only frequent but was also becoming much stronger. This gave me the incentive to attempt to null down local Belmont frequencies as much as I could by tilting the 9.2 into various slanted angles. This only reduced the signals down to a fluctuating 10dBf and 25dBf (XDR-GTK scale), but this was weak enough to allow some of the big Perseid bursts to topple Belmont. Here's an example, demonstrating Lincs FM 102.2 being toppled by Radio Lublin: https://app.box.com/s/zwh0mqdngdplvmygmj28 Lublin was identified by its PI code in this case.
I am still aiming to positively identify meteor activity on all band 2 frequencies. The current total stands at 127 out of a possible 206 frequencies. Whether I will achieve this goal remains to be seen. There is certainly some way to go.
Good DX!

Scatter really struggling this morning due to the current spell of unsettled weather and my 9.2 has been lowered because of high winds.
There has only been a minor appearance of the Perseids though. 90.8 was chosen for my overnight recording where Bornberg was the most persistent burster by some margin. Cottbus was also quite frequent.

** Personal Skegness 'First' via the respective mode
A surprise today with several Es openings, bringing in some persistent and more distant OIRT transmitters from Ukraine.
The action swung to the south briefly in the early evening with Spain and Portugal popping in and out with weak and choppy signals. Only one Spanish station produced RDS, then the band abruptly swung eastward, bringing Poland, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria! Just when you thought the Es season was over!

** Personal Skegness 'First' via the respective mode
* This tropo was sudden and unexpected.
* It was the strongest Dutch tropo I have known since moving here four years ago.
* It wasn't forecast!
Had it not been for the Skywaves alert from Matt in Grimsby I might never have known this was happening, so a BIG thank you Matt.

These are selected clips of the above tropo. I didn't record all of it as I don't have the time to go through hours of editing, so I kept pausing until necessary. I haven't checked through these recordings so I wouldn't be surprised if I was recording when I thought I was paused, and vice versa, as I was concentrating on the DX more than I was on the recording itself.
Good DX!

Quite an interesting morning on the scatter side, with the best signals I have heard from the more distant transmitters such as Inselberg and Hoher Meissner. A few new frequencies were heard too. All the above would probably have come in via aircraft scatter. Most peaked at noise free levels, though were all obviously on the weak side. I am making recordings here and there and will upload a compilation soon.
On the tropo front, well, there is no tropo. Conditions have been as flat as something very flat for the last few days.
It's probably time to start to look at DXing via the Perseids now. This shower should peak on the 11th, 12th and 13th of August.
Good DX!

Quite an interesting morning on the scatter side, with the best signals I have heard from the more distant transmitters such as Inselberg and Hoher Meissner. A few new frequencies were heard too. All the above would probably have come in via aircraft scatter. Most peaked at noise free levels, though were all obviously on the weak side. I am making recordings here and there and will upload a compilation soon.
On the tropo front, well, there is no tropo. Conditions have been as flat as something very flat for the last few days.
It's probably time to start to look at DXing via the Perseids now. This shower should peak on the 11th, 12th and 13th of August.
Good DX!
