More Surprising DX At The Axe Edge


Am I insane?

Today Tim and I took another visit to the Axe Edge to see if our potentially record-breaking DX from May 5th would be heard a second time, thus confirming that our reception than was not a one-off. Thankfully, we still heard virtually all the continental stations we heard then, plus a few others. 

It has to be said that signals were slightly lower and we needed a little more patience, but our diligence paid off. Signals were mostly weak and fluttery but France was slightly stronger and the Rouen transmitter on 94.0 was strong enough to produce RDS data.
