** Skegness Personal 'First'

A really frustrating day with lots of visitors and unnecessary interruptions. Grrr! :O) I kept trying to DX in smaller sessions when I could but it became impossible. One of those days!

France Inter from Paris was received via scatter. It took me about one hour to work out what I was receiving. I was under the impression this was Radio Courtoisie. Then I realised I was looking at the wrong part of France. The low power relay of France Bleu from La Pilaterie was mixing with it for much of the time. Now I think about it France Bleu 107.1 from Paris used to be a regular visitor before my noise appeared.

Recordings:

Great to get these two with clear identification:

88.1 Radio Biskra, Metlili 0849 03-06-13
88.4, Chaine 3, Chrea 0800 03-06-13


Good DX!
