** Personal Skegness 'First'
It's all getting a bit much now :O) This has been the summer of non-stop DX!
We have been so lucky to have enjoyed superb tropo here without interference from sporadic E (you should never mix them ;O) I have spent so much time at the radio, logging furiously and making many recordings of the DX, that I have now got a little behind (but no-one's perfect ,lol) Joking aside, I actually decided to switch off the receivers this morning during an intense sporadic E opening to Spain, Portugal and Morocco. It was frustrating too as there was still good tropo to Scandinavia amd Germany which was getting buried by the E skip. Then the internet collapsed, as it did yesterday, so I was unable to access FM List, etc. By the time it was working again I decided to take a look at the Es and start logging again, but found I needed a break from it. Do you ever get like this when the DX is so intense? So I then make the decision to either switch off or concentrate on spot frequencies, like I am now while typing this. I am monitoring a couple of frequencies just in case the Canaries appear.
There are a lot of other domestic things I need to catch up with too. I'd also like to find time to re-design my website (again) but that will have to wait, or be done bit by bit.
So, time to catch up with my log and recordings backlog.

** Personal Skegness 'First'
It's all getting a bit much now :O) This has been the summer of non-stop DX!
We have been so lucky to have enjoyed superb tropo here without interference from sporadic E (you should never mix them ;O) I have spent so much time at the radio, logging furiously and making many recordings of the DX, that I have now got a little behind (but no-one's perfect ,lol) Joking aside, I actually decided to switch off the receivers this morning during an intense sporadic E opening to Spain, Portugal and Morocco. It was frustrating too as there was still good tropo to Scandinavia amd Germany which was getting buried by the E skip. Then the internet collapsed, as it did yesterday, so I was unable to access FM List, etc. By the time it was working again I decided to take a look at the Es and start logging again, but found I needed a break from it. Do you ever get like this when the DX is so intense? So I then make the decision to either switch off or concentrate on spot frequencies, like I am now while typing this. I am monitoring a couple of frequencies just in case the Canaries appear.
There are a lot of other domestic things I need to catch up with too. I'd also like to find time to re-design my website (again) but that will have to wait, or be done bit by bit.
So, time to catch up with my log and recordings backlog.

Congratulations for receiving "my" radiostation! I'm responsable for the music planning at the local radiostation OSradio 104,8 (Germany). We are transmitting with 1,0 kW towards the north from the "Doerenberg" (330 Meters high, between Georgsmarienbuette and Bad Iburg). So that's quite a distance for this low power station. Ift it's okay I'll put your receiption on the Facebook-Page (http://www.facebook.com/osradio).
ReplyDeleteI'm also interested in DX. If I find some time I'll put my logs on http://ukwdx.wordpress.com. On July 9th I've made great Logs over here (especially on DAB).
Good luck with your hobby and best regards,
Thomas
Very nice to hear from you Thomas and thank you very much for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteThe evening of July 9th was one of the best tropospheric events I have known. As coincidence would have it, Germany lifted up via tropo again yesterday evening with a couple of personal firsts, but conditions were not as good as on the 9th.
I love hearing proper local radio stations. It is such a refreshing change to the multiple frequency regional stations.
Of course you are very welcome to include my reception report on your Facebook page. I would be honoured.
Best wishes and best DX!
John
