Southern Norwegian transmitters are alive and well, for now!
I missed the Norwegian opening in the early part of the day but I am thankful that conditions returned during the evening.
Signals were weak to fair and conditions were not strong enough to support the reception of local stations.
In additional to Denmark, Norway and Sweden, the Flensburg and Heide transmitters were heard weakly from the north of Germany.
Good DX!

I missed the Norwegian opening in the early part of the day but I am thankful that conditions returned during the evening.
Signals were weak to fair and conditions were not strong enough to support the reception of local stations.
In additional to Denmark, Norway and Sweden, the Flensburg and Heide transmitters were heard weakly from the north of Germany.

Southern Norwegian transmitters are alive and well, for now!
I missed the Norwegian opening in the early part of the day but I am thankful that conditions returned during the evening.
Signals were weak to fair and conditions were not strong enough to support the reception of local stations.
In additional to Denmark, Norway and Sweden, the Flensburg and Heide transmitters were heard weakly from the north of Germany.
Good DX!

The 22nd was a reasonable day for transatlantic DX here and conditions haven't come close since.
BBC Radio Humbersplatter on 1485 were kind enough to play a quiet song at 0717, allowing me to dig into 1480 and catch an ID from WGVU. A personal first here.

It's interesting that there are so many personal firsts once again. Stations which have appeared for the first time over the last few days have often appeared repeatedly. It's as if each meteor shower has its own refraction properties.

** Personal First
More vertical monitoring of the top of the band.
It's interesting that there are so many personal firsts once again. Stations which have appeared for the first time over the last few days have often appeared repeatedly. It's as if each meteor shower has its own refraction properties.
Good DX!
