A change in antenna direction this morning, aiming the antenna south-east, still keeping it vertical. LOTS of Italian stations. So many in fact that the usual sporadic E type of soup appeared. There were some very decent signals, but few produced RDS. French local stations were in abundance too weak for RDS.
