Some nice surprises again today and lots more videos of today's catches on my YouTube page at https://www.youtube.com/user/g1vvp.
There was a nice run of DX at 0751 when several outlets of Bayern 2 appeared simultaneously.
My last recording (lower quarter of the band) didn't fully record. I am not sure what happened but the recording switched off with more than an hour remaining. SDRs seem to have a few problems when it comes to timed recordings. My Perseus has a lot of problems switching off mid-recording so I use Mestor for this instead, but this is the first (and hopefully the last) time this has happened with the FDM-SW2 software.
Back to vertical at SSE for tomorrow morning.
Good DX!

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.

"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.

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.

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.
Good DX!
