** Personal Skegness 'First'
An interesting day! It took a long time to get going though. The Es stuggled to get much above 88 MHz for most of the day.
I was intrigued by the extremely high MUFs on DX Maps, which started over south-eastern Europe and then moved west. They seemed to be the result of 2m contacts, so what were they doing on the 6m page? The Es MUF rose well above 300 MHz at one point (which it can't do, can it?) Another oddity: Considering those very high MUFs, where was all the relevant band 2 reception over that way? There weren't even a huge amount of 6m contacts, considering. At least, that's how DX Maps showed it.
Well done to those who had the 'double hop'. It didn't happen here, as far as I am aware. I had plenty of Italy, but it was good to see the return of Balkan DX.
Only a couple of recordings this time. There wasn't enough time to process the rest as I was too busy DXing. I will attempt to make a point of saving anything 'exotic'.

** Personal Skegness 'First'
An interesting day! It took a long time to get going though. The Es stuggled to get much above 88 MHz for most of the day.
I was intrigued by the extremely high MUFs on DX Maps, which started over south-eastern Europe and then moved west. They seemed to be the result of 2m contacts, so what were they doing on the 6m page? The Es MUF rose well above 300 MHz at one point (which it can't do, can it?) Another oddity: Considering those very high MUFs, where was all the relevant band 2 reception over that way? There weren't even a huge amount of 6m contacts, considering. At least, that's how DX Maps showed it.
Well done to those who had the 'double hop'. It didn't happen here, as far as I am aware. I had plenty of Italy, but it was good to see the return of Balkan DX.
Only a couple of recordings this time. There wasn't enough time to process the rest as I was too busy DXing. I will attempt to make a point of saving anything 'exotic'.

Good DX!
