Not so much time to check recordings lately. I have also had to point the antenna south-west, not a great direction for meteor scatter, as this has been the most wind-resistant position for counteracting the strong winds we've been having. I am amazed my antenna mast survived the vicious weather. Only a couple of hundred yards away we have seen a tree blown down, with other's in the area also suffering the same fate. The Met Orifice finally admitted we'd had 70 MPH gusts in the area. Locally, they could have been stronger. It was impossible to stand upright at the height of the winds.

Good DX!

Just as I was thinking that the meteor scatter was becoming predictable, along comes something different!

I have uploaded videos of my reception of Radio Celje https://youtu.be/6fmqFqTfnEo and Rádio Regina from Modrý Kamen https://youtu.be/1FPV4kSzAX0

The next major shower will be the April Lyrids between April 16 - 25 , peaking on April 23. More info at http://earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials/earthskys-meteor-shower-guide

I noted with interest the March equinox fireball season, something I did not know about. Again, more info on the page above.

Meteor scatter has generally been very poor over the last few nights. I have been hoping for signals from Scandinavia and have been beaming north-east with the 9,2 vertical. Still, Italy manages to come through. Also some Irish signals came in on one short burst this morning, but nothing identifiable, apart from Newstalk outlets on 107.0, 107.2, 107.4, 107.6 and 107.8. There was no way of working out which sites they were from, but the Irish station on 104.9 was interesting, playing what I presume was an advert for someone located at 7 (27?) Burn Hill or Bird Hill. I wonder who that was.
