This is my first meteor log using the Elad FDM-S2 SDR receiver.
No web streams were recorded for comparison checking. All stations were identified using RDS, live parallels or vocal ID. The RDS performance on the S2 software is actually MUCH better than I thought. Hopefully I will have grasped SDR Console soon enough so I can use the improved RDS performance and the file analyser, which looks very useful. Thanks again go to Jim Smith who took the time to go through a few of the basics in Console. This programme offers many advantages over the S2 software, but I have to say both have their advantages.
For those who are not familiar with the Elad FDM-S2, it is an SDR receiver, capable of recording up to six MHz of IF bandwidth. Its performance on band 2 is exceptional when used with a pre-amp. The FDM-S2 also covers long wave, through medium and short wave, band 1 and the OIRT band, right up to 160 MHz. I have yet to try the FDM-S2 outside band 2.
Good DX!

** Personal Skegness 'First'
I didn't expect to hear much meteor scatter on 108.0, especially as the 9.2 was vertical, but I was pleasantly surprised as there were quite frequent pings and short bursts.
Radio Maria was the most consistent station. What a surprise!
What was interesting about 108.0 was the number of stations which got through. I recorded six Italian streams, but most of the pings I heard were from other stations. Radio Cuore and Studio Piu were probably received but the pings I heard were too short for comfort. I will definitely be recording 108.0 again very soon.

I am pleased to report reception of the 60 watt studio link of Radio 700 from Kall on 87.45. This is probably 'just' making it through on general scatter too, but it's so weak and in the background noise levels that it's impossible to be certain. I could hear the sub-bass of the music when scatter peaked on other frequencies in that direction. A video of this can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jf3xafi1UyM but please use headphones and 'turn up the bass', as Tyree Cooper used to say.
Scratch it up out there!

Radio Wuppertal 107.4 has been in daily via scatter recently. 107.4 used to be dominated by SWR4 Rheinland-Pfalz from Koblenz, but this has been less frequent recently. I love it how these general trends slowly change over time.
I will also submit loggings in chronological format in future. I know some of you prefer to see loggings in frequency order. Personally, I am torn between the two and would like to include loggings in both odrers, but that would be adding to the work involved. Most logbooks show detail in chronological order these days and I am basing my choice on that alone.

For the first time here, some low power stations from the Wallonia region. I was hoping to rise earlier than this but a chest infection kept me in bed longer than I would have liked, so I came into this too late. I' pretty sure signals would have been better a few hours earlier on this occasion. A welcome lift nonetheless so soon after the last one. More please! :)
The opening tried to regain strength during the evening but I did not feel well enough to monitor all the time. A mystery French station escaped me on 99.0. Not RPL, RCV or Radio 6, or anything listed in Belgium, so a mystery.
Good DX!
