** Personal Skegness 'First'

Not a bad day with Spain and Portugal dominating for a few hours. Conditions never attempted to advance up the band though.

I would have had some recordings too but the computer locked up when I tried installing a new RTL dongle. Some very odd things happened to my laptop and my desktop computers when I tried, and failed to, install the drivers. In the end I lost my entire recording of today's sporadic E event and a few prize IDs.

Yes, I have another dongle but I don't think I'll bother with it for a while. It was supposed to be an RTL2832U/R280T type. Actually, it might be, but there is no indication of this anywhere on it. I didn't expect miracles for £4 from eBay China though. It doesn't have the Belling Lee socket as I had expected, only a tiny push-on mini-whip connection.

Good DX!
