I spotted this opening just as I was about to go out, so it was another day of playing back recordings later in the day. I was surprised by the number of low power Romanian station I received with full RDS. For instance, 89.5 Radio Brasov Special is listed with only 40 watts. The Galati transmitter is 50 watts and Adjud is 80 watts.

Unidentified:

As explained elsewhere, I had only two 'live' loggings from this opening, but all 20 minutes or so were recorded for later playback, where I discovered the rest of the stations. There were also the usual "multi-tx" catches, which I omitted.
I won't be recording and playing back many openings this way as this one took me almost four hours and it was only a meagre opening compared to a mid-season frenzy. It would be sensible to concentrate on recording only the more interesting openings, unless time permits.
Good DX!

Skegness Log: 24-04-15 (FM)
Band 2 Sporadic E:
87.7 1912 TUN RTT Radio Culture, Djebel Trozza (kai) Chinese music! As web. Arabic
YL presenter 2086km
88.0 1914 ALG Radio Algeria International, IDs in English
87.0 1923 TUN RTT Radio Gafsa, Kebili=Qibili (keb) 7206 GAFSA___ 2265km
The first Es of the season here! Possibly the earliest I have heard Es, though I can't remember if I had some one year at the end of March? I think I might have done. Such is my memory.
It was very much a mediocre 'bottom of the band' opening, with only three stations heard intermittently, lasting about 15 to 20 minutes overall. I am guessing the Radio Algeria International on 88.3 will be Radio El Tarf as this site was in the vicinity of the opening.
Good DX!
