** Personal First
The second double-hop opening of the season and we're still in May!
Not much time for listening today with family visiting, but I took a few crafty listens every now and again.
I didn't get much recording done on the S2 as most of the files became corrupted but I managed to rescue the file which had the Ankara reception (Phew!) and I am in the process of uploading this as I type this log.
Good DX!

** Personal First
Belarus and Ukraine were received in the OIRT range from 0830, the MUF quickly spreading into band 2 where signals from the Balkans were coming through. I was lucky to be on 88.2 at just the right moment when Turkey appeared briefly. It lasted less than half a minute but produced a good signal with instant RDS. Around this time there was exotic sounding music on 87.5, Koran on 89.5 and 90.4, plus pops on 87.8. Signals from the Hungarian/Romanian border were received also at this time which would probably have been the point of double-hop.
Various other openings occurred throughout the day, including a widespread opening to Spain, Portugal and Poland early evening, plus a fair amount of OIRT stuff, but I was frequently away from the receiver during this and so missed quite a lot. My techie friend was with me again, getting the FDM-S2 working again. I am pleased to say that the recent problems I have experienced with this are now rectified. I simply connected the FDM-S2's USB cable to a powered USB hub (why didn't I think of this?) and it worked perfectly again. It looks like the replacement power supply I fitted to my computer two weeks ago was not delivering enough voltage. There could still be a problem with the motherboard, but it seems like the psu was the likely cause of the issues. A new "Corsair" brand replacement psu has now been ordered. All today's DXing was done on my Sony XDR-F1HD.
Good DX!

Belarus and Ukraine were received in the OIRT range from 0830, the MUF quickly spreading into band 2 where signals from the Balkans were coming through. I was lucky to be on 88.2 at just the right moment when Turkey appeared briefly. It lasted less than half a minute but produced a good signal with instant RDS. Around this time there was exotic sounding music on 87.5, Koran on 89.5 and 90.4, plus pops on 87.8. Signals from the Hungarian/Romanian border were received also at this time which would probably have been the point of double-hop.
Various other openings occurred throughout the day, including a widespread opening to Spain, Portugal and Poland early evening, plus a fair amount of OIRT stuff, but I was frequently away from the receiver during this and so missed quite a lot. My techie friend was with me again, getting the FDM-S2 working again. I am pleased to say that the recent problems I have experienced with this are now rectified. I simply connected the FDM-S2's USB cable to a powered USB hub (why didn't I think of this?) and it worked perfectly again. It looks like the replacement power supply I fitted to my computer two weeks ago was not delivering enough voltage. There could still be a problem with the motherboard, but it seems like the psu was the likely cause of the issues. A new "Corsair" brand replacement psu has now been ordered. All today's DXing was done on my Sony XDR-F1HD.

** Personal First
Three short and sweet sporadic E opening today, the last one after 1800 peaking to the top of the band and producing some reasonable DX at last.
All DXing done on my Sony XDR-F1HD today as my FDM-S2 is out of action.
Good DX!

Three short and sweet sporadic E opening today, the last one after 1800 peaking to the top of the band and producing some reasonable DX at last.
All DXing done on my Sony XDR-F1HD today as my FDM-S2 is out of action.
Good DX!

A welcome return to band 2 Es on what is showing every indication on being the worst Es season I have known. It's early days and it could all change, but May has been very disappointing so far.
The OIRT band produced Ukraine and Belarus around the late afternoon but, thanks to computer problems, I couldn't get any audio to work from web streams so all signals got away.
All reception above was done with traditional single channel DXing on the XDR-F1HD using the GTK software. My FDM-S2 is out of action, again due to computer problems.
Good DX!
