I beam towards Denkark and southern Sweden and all I receive is Italy! Oh well.
Very disappointing this morning as hardly any MS activity was detected, plus I ran out of hard drive space again and only got three hours recorded. A bit of file shuffling has now more than doubled my available space up to 850 GB so hopefully more results tomorrow. I will be beaming south-west this time in case the forecast tropo materialises.
Good DX!

Will this tropo ever end? We're into day five now and, yes, it is starting to fizzle, but not without a final blast. Some Germans remain, but my attention has been drawn to Sweden now, which is occupying many frequencies. At least 16 Swedish transmitters were heard around the midday period and there were two or three new ones in there for me, the furthest being the Norrköping transmitter at 1174 km, very close to eastern Swedish coast. You begin to realise that Finland is actually a good contender for band 2 reception one day.
Just before the tropospheric activity disappeared, I managed to hear a very weak Koszalin on 97.4. I followed this for ten minutes, hearing music, an OM and commercials, well down into the noise and barely audible, but unmistakably there.
So, this is the conclusion of yet another amazing spell of band 2 tropospheric activity!
Good DX!

Welcome to day four of what is turning into one of the strongest tropos I have ever experienced! Lille and Egem have been peaking in the low 70s dBf (Konrad XDR-GTK software).
As with last week's tropo, the band is unrecognisable as being from anywhere within the UK. What has also become apparent is that, during the late evening, signals were so strong that my XDR-F1HD has been experiencing intermodulation products. I have never experienced this kind of thing before with tropospheric activity, but it looks like Tacolneston is to blame as I received a mixture of BBC Radio 2 and something else (BBC Radio 3?) on 87.5. This is likely 89.7 & 91.9 mixing.
Subtract 17 dB from my figures to get a more accurate signal reading. (-20 dB for pre-amp, plus 3 dB for antenna splitter).
Once again I have avoided repetition and only logged the more interesting catches. The band is full of dozens and dozens of stations from Germany, Holland, Belgium and France.
Good DX!

** Personal First
Welcome to day four of what is turning into one of the strongest tropos I have ever experienced! Lille and Egem have been peaking in the low 70s dBf (Konrad XDR-GTK software).
As with last week's tropo, the band is unrecognisable as being from anywhere within the UK. What has also become apparent is that, during the late evening, signals were so strong that my XDR-F1HD has been experiencing intermodulation products. I have never experienced this kind of thing before with tropospheric activity, but it looks like Tacolneston is to blame as I received a mixture of BBC Radio 2 and something else (BBC Radio 3?) on 87.5. This is likely 89.7 & 91.9 mixing.
Subtract 17 dB from my figures to get a more accurate signal reading. (-20 dB for pre-amp, plus 3 dB for antenna splitter).
Once again I have avoided repetition and only logged the more interesting catches. The band is full of dozens and dozens of stations from Germany, Holland, Belgium and France.
Good DX!

** Personal First
Day three of the current tropo spell and no signs of it abating! If anything, signals are increasing, with some German transmitters reaching high strengths, strong enough to be audible on the car radio in town!
The log of DLR Kultur on 89.0 from Jever was interesting and it took me many minutes to realise what was happening. At first, I couldn't find anything on the web which matched the radio play I was hearing, yet this seemed to be the same radio play I could hear on DLR Kultur 97.4 (Brocken) and 96.5 (Langenberg). After a while, I realised that it 'was' the same play, but 89.0 was almost TEN MINUTES AHEAD! Presumably some audio distribution problem.
Many more regular continental tropo catches were received but I have not included them in the log.
Good DX!

Comparing a Short Beverage Antenna to a Flag Antenna at Home
An audio comparison demonstrating reception differences between a short Beverage antenna out in the wilds and a standard flag antenna used at home. Click here to hear the recording.
Taking advantage of a useful line of trees
It's the first time I have tried a simultaneous DXing exercise, listening both at home and on a Beverage antenna, six miles from home. I knew there would be differences, but even this short Beverage have some surprising results.
The receiver at home was an Elad FDM-S2. The receiver at the field was a Perseus SDR.
Correction: I incorrectly state that the Beverage antenna was 180 metres in length. It was actually 136 metres.

This log is the result of a mobile DX trip, thie files from which I had forgotten.
The band was full of transatlantic signals, with more than one transatlantic station being on many frequencies. This log represents the more interesting catches and regularly heard stations are omitted.
This was another frustrating DX session as most top of the hour recordings didn't happen because of problems with the laptop I was using at the time. Pressing the record button on the Perseus usually resulted in the laptop freezing and in need of a reboot. Still, there are some new stations in the log which I have not received in Skegness before.
Good DX!

** Personal first
This log is the result of a mobile DX trip, thie files from which I had forgotten.
The band was full of transatlantic signals, with more than one transatlantic station being on many frequencies. This log represents the more interesting catches and regularly heard stations are omitted.
This was another frustrating DX session as most top of the hour recordings didn't happen because of problems with the laptop I was using at the time. Pressing the record button on the Perseus usually resulted in the laptop freezing and in need of a reboot. Still, there are some new stations in the log which I have not received in Skegness before.
Good DX!
