Regular stations omitted again.
The high winds over the 14th/15th have meant that I have returned the antenna to a horizontal plane. The mast sways slightly more When the 9.2 is vertical and some of the winds we have had recently have been quite vicious and were able to remove a few fence panels on the street. I will return to vertical monitoring again tomorrow.
Some minor maintenance work is being done on the aerial mast as I type as it was discovered that the bolts securing two of the TK brackets were not secure. The bolts holding the lower two brackets were just going round and around and the middle bracket came away from the wall about a quarter of an inch when I lowered the mast recently. The previous aerial contractor had used plastic plugs instead of expandable metal rawlbolts. I cannot tell you how nervous I have been during the recent high winds. For those who are not aware, our landlords insist that all antenna work is carried out by CAI approved installers and that adequate insurance is provided.
Good DX!

I have uploaded videos of many of today's catches to my YouTube page. RDS Spy continues to deliver the goods at brief/low signal levels.
Now, thanks to improved decoding in the FDM-SW2 software, the RDS now rivals RDS Spy, occasionally producing the PI and PS before RDS Spy! You can see this in the videos, link below.

"All new" today. "The No Repeat DX Report"!! ;O)
I got the audio working into CamStudio today. I simply deselected the RealTek soundcard in VRX5 (FDM-S2's settings) and, for some odd reason, this opened up the path between my Delta 66 and CamStudio. I know, that doesn't make any sense at all, but I'm not complaining. There must have been a conflict. I'm sure this will be broken again tomorrow.

The Italian bursts are still really interesting in that I never know what is going to pop up, but there are still the customary regulars like Rocca di Papa, Monte Venda and Cesena (the last two not included above). Meldola seems to be a regular too when the 9.2 is vertical. I guess this is no different to any other mode of propagation though. Tropo and Es tend to bring in certain transmitters more regularly than others.
Going to try for the Italians again overnight tonight.
Good DX!

Beaming north-east with the 9.2 vertical produced virtually nothing overnight. I recorded a few minutes at the end of the evening in an attempt to boost the log, this time beaming south-east and there were a few interesting results. Three new sites were received from the Czech Republic and Poland - all three of them vertically polarised transmitters! So it looks like meteor scatter is still able to differentiate between horizontal and vertical. I really have no idea why the north-east was so poor. Probably just the luck of the draw regarding conditions.
I am still adding videos on my YouTube page, but the last few uploads have no audio. I have tried every possible setting in CamStudio but nothing will bring the audio back. However, the RDS is clearly shown and I didn't want to miss the opportunity of backing up some decent catches. https://www.youtube.com/user/g1vvp
Thanks to Patrick on the Elad SDR forum for telling me how to tighten up the RDS performance even further using RDS Spy with the FDM-S2. I had not got "Vol 2" set to its optimum level. Reducing the output to around "15-20" has knocked another 50% or so off the bitrate error. Can this software get any more sensitive? Check out my video of 92.8 Radio Studio Delta from Cesena http://youtu.be/mHkLFuOFMUk which demonstrates how the PI code can be extracted from even the briefest of weak pings. This is not unusual and happened with some of yesterday's Italian MS signals too.
Uploading videos is no longer a simple matter lately. File sizes have increased roughly ten fold and for no apparent reason. I wonder if the lack of audio renders these rather pointless now. Anyway, nuff waffle.

** Personal 'First'
I didn't expect this. RDS Spy is able to extract the PI code from even really weak pings now. The duration of these pings can only be less than a tenth of a second and it effortlessly lifts out the PI code and even manages to get some of the PS name too. In comparison, the S2 software, good as it is, lags quite a way behind.
I logged everything I could identify from my overnight recordings, just to satisfy my curiosity as to what is now possible on what was a very average night for meteor scatter. It's complete overkill though. I spent every available minute compiling this log today and it's just way too much. My wife and I agree that I need a life outside this shack. :O} But what a tally of meteor scatter loggings! There's a lot of repetition again, but still quite a few personal firsts. The beam was heading towards 70 degrees for the above and the band is just about as empty as it can be in this direction. Tomorrow I will go vertical towards Italy again.
Good DX!
