** Personal Skegness 'First'
Some very pleasing meteor scatter catches overnight.
The Lithuanians were a nice surprise, especially the Anyksciai transmitter on 104.4 as this is the frequency of a strong BBC Radio Norfolk. I didn't know there was anything on 104.4 at the beginning but I could hear the same operatic music as the Bubiai transmitter on 103.4 which had full RDS. I was tuned to 104.5 at the time but no carrier was visible. I reduced the S2 bandwidth to around 50 kHz and immediately heard the classical music on both edges of Norfolk 104.4. Luckily, the Anyksciai transmitter was wider than BBC Radio Norfolk so I could get in either side. This demonstrates the selective ability of the S2 very nicely.
I have omitted lots of the regular transmitters this time to avoid repetition. I am still slightly in shock of the capability of the S2 and once again find myself reporting a record number of personal meteor scatter firsts, 39 no less!
Good DX!

There was a lot more more meteor activity overnight but it was mostly very weak and below the RDS threshold. Also, I decided to go vertical for a change and see if it made any difference. I guess it probably did with the regulars being absent or weaker but also I heard more Italian speech than usual. Worth trying this again I think when meteor activity improves.
Good DX!

** Personal Skegness 'First'
Tropo was a surprise during the late evening of the 21st/early morning 22nd. Signals were not great but the SW2 software revealed a few PI codes. Bonn, Barbelkreuz, Aachen, Munster and Langenberg were also slightly enhanced.
A few bits and pieces about my meteor scatter loggings.
Some of the stations logged share the frequency with other stations on the same network. It can sometimes be a gamble deciding which site has been received. The methods I used to determine the sites involve checking the other frequencies of those transmitters to either confirm or eliminate them, if that makes sense, so just a quick explanation of why I claim to have received certain sites when others might be possible.
At the moment I am reporting many personal firsts from Poland and Finland. My lack of Polish and Finnish meteor scatter loggings in the past have been due to the shortfalls of the StreamWriter software. StreamWriter seemed to be the best software of its kind that I could find, but it was unable to record web streams encoded in the .asx format. These formats are used by the Polish and Finnish national networks so I was never able to record them.
One minor problem with the RDS display on the S2, which you may have noticed, is not having the full eight character PS display when not all eight characters are transmitted, so I am not always able to report accurate positioning of the PS name. For example, if a station has the PS name "__LBC___", the S2 simply displays it as "LBC". This will be rectified if I am ever able to get RDS Spy configured via the SW2 software.
Finally, just to stress the value of the File Analyser software. This comes with SDR Console and has saved me an enormous amount of time. Using File Analyser I can see an image of the whole of an overnight S2 recording. The meteor bursts are easy to see and if I hover my mouse pointer over the burst I can see the exact time it occurred. So I can note down the time of the burst and go straight to it in the SW2 software. I would not consider meteor scatter DXing if I had to play back an entire recording in realtime!
Good DX!

Tropo was a surprise during the late evening of the 21st/early morning 22nd. Signals were not great but the SW2 software revealed a few PI codes. Bonn, Barbelkreuz, Aachen, Munster and Langenberg were also slightly enhanced.
A few bits and pieces about my meteor scatter loggings.
Some of the stations logged share the frequency with other stations on the same network. It can sometimes be a gamble deciding which site has been received. The methods I used to determine the sites involve checking the other frequencies of those transmitters to either confirm or eliminate them, if that makes sense, so just a quick explanation of why I claim to have received certain sites when others might be possible.
At the moment I am reporting many personal firsts from Poland and Finland. My lack of Polish and Finnish meteor scatter loggings in the past have been due to the shortfalls of the StreamWriter software. StreamWriter seemed to be the best software of its kind that I could find, but it was unable to record web streams encoded in the .asx format. These formats are used by the Polish and Finnish national networks so I was never able to record them.
One minor problem with the RDS display on the S2, which you may have noticed, is not having the full eight character PS display when not all eight characters are transmitted, so I am not always able to report accurate positioning of the PS name. For example, if a station has the PS name "__LBC___", the S2 simply displays it as "LBC". This will be rectified if I am ever able to get RDS Spy configured via the SW2 software.
Finally, just to stress the value of the File Analyser software. This comes with SDR Console and has saved me an enormous amount of time. Using File Analyser I can see an image of the whole of an overnight S2 recording. The meteor bursts are easy to see and if I hover my mouse pointer over the burst I can see the exact time it occurred. So I can note down the time of the burst and go straight to it in the SW2 software. I would not consider meteor scatter DXing if I had to play back an entire recording in realtime!
Good DX!

Another amazing night of MS activity, thanks to the S2 and lots of nice surprises.
There was a short burst of what sounded like Gaelic singing on 104.7 at 1017 which I believe might be BBC Radio Nan Gaidheal from Skraig. Skraig was a frequent visitor elsewhere overnight so this is highly likely. Also received via the same burst were stations on 102.5, 102.3 and 102.1. Now this is pure speculation, but I can't help but wonder if 102.5 was Moray Forth Radio from Caithness (1.2kW), 102.3 was Nevis FM from Mallaig (800 watts) and 102.1 was NECR from Meldrum (1.25 kW). 104.7 and 102.5 were easily at RDS levels but, since the UK transmitters radiate less data than Europeans, this did not form - another clue maybe? Perhaps I should check this direction more often.
Good DX!

** Personal Skegness 'First'
Another amazing night of MS activity, thanks to the S2 and lots of nice surprises.
There was a short burst of what sounded like Gaelic singing on 104.7 at 1017 which I believe might be BBC Radio Nan Gaidheal from Skraig. Skraig was a frequent visitor elsewhere overnight so this is highly likely. Also received via the same burst were stations on 102.5, 102.3 and 102.1. Now this is pure speculation, but I can't help but wonder if 102.5 was Moray Forth Radio from Caithness (1.2kW), 102.3 was Nevis FM from Mallaig (800 watts) and 102.1 was NECR from Meldrum (1.25 kW). 104.7 and 102.5 were easily at RDS levels but, since the UK transmitters radiate less data than Europeans, this did not form - another clue maybe? Perhaps I should check this direction more often.
Good DX!

I did not expect this! Today I present my biggest meteor logbook ever!
Here is a video of the reception of the 1.5 kW Brener transmitter of Sudtirol Eins on 105.4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLse_Ti_BZk
The RDS performance of the Elad FDM-S2 continues to impress and astound! I wouldn't say the majority of these meteor bursts weren't particularly strong either. The beauty of having 6 MHz IF bandwidth in the S2 receiver is that a single meteor burst is capable of affecting all the frequencies in the range. Although this doesn't happen with every single burst, it is quite often noted. Occasionally only a few frequencies might be affected, or just one. Well done the Elad SW2 software!
