What a day! It began shortly after midnight with what I thought was just extremely good tropo. SR P1 had appeared on 87.6, but it quickly shot up to three bars with RDS, so I knew it was more than tropo. I remembered seeing the Es paths over northern Europe on the DX Maps 6m page and realised they were auroral Es. It never really took off here though, extending only to 90.8 MHz.
The highlight for me was Radio Kreiz Breizh from Carhaix on 99.4. While weak, as you can hear on the recording, I remember this one being very difficult one to receive in the south-west of Brittany and always assumed it didn't get out very well. I am very pleased to have received it here. It only uses 500 watts.
Some of today's DX has been the strongest I have known here, particularly the Dutch DX, but Germany has been disappointing, apart form the odd exception.

What a day! It began shortly after midnight with what I thought was just extremely good tropo. SR P1 had appeared on 87.6, but it quickly shot up to three bars with RDS, so I knew it was more than tropo. I remembered seeing the Es paths over northern Europe on the DX Maps 6m page and realised they were auroral Es. It never really took off here though, extending only to 90.8 MHz.
The highlight for me was Radio Kreiz Breizh from Carhaix on 99.4. While weak, as you can hear on the recording, I remember this one being very difficult one to receive in the south-west of Brittany and always assumed it didn't get out very well. I am very pleased to have received it here. It only uses 500 watts.
Some of today's DX has been the strongest I have known here, particularly the Dutch DX, but Germany has been disappointing, apart form the odd exception.
