** Personal Skegness 'First'


As a late starter I often arive after the event. Today was one morning I really didn't want to lie in, but I did. Judging by the number of auto-logged Balkans on 87.6 it looks like I could have missed the best Balkan opening of the season.

Then came this afternoon. I had high hopes for good conditions after watching the Es build over central Europe on the DX clusters. In the end it looks like I was right on the edge of the opening most of the time. There was some DX to Poland, Moscow, Latvia, Lithuania, Croatia and Italy, but the loggings came in at the rate of just over one per hour. Frustrating, but at least there were Es.

A sudden drop in the MUF at 1945 has enabled me to prepare today's loggings a little earlier than usual. Maybe an early night tonight!
