The forecast suggested a BIG tropo to Norway this morning but it was some way below that here. The opening covered a wider area than on the 8th and signals reached three bars from many of the bigger transmitters, but the locals were very weak indeed, such as Radio Lyngdal, which was crystal clear and with RDS on the 8th.
For this log, I decided to avoid repetition and concentrated on the Norwegian side of the tropo, plus any other DX which hadn't been logged in the previous few days, but many Danish and German stations were still coming through with decent strengths.
I logged two new Norwegian locals which were very weak indeed and I had to take extra care that I was 100% correct, so a lot of checking against the web streams was necessary.
For example, this is how Radio 102 sounded:
First recording: https://app.box.com/s/n6ss9c7nditysu30mdrs
... Very poor indeed with back to back music and web stream comparison.
Second: https://app.box.com/s/s0z1r9q3pjovwdemso0q
... Slightly better back to back songs and web stream comparison.
I did this several times to be certain.
Radio 1 from Lifjell made things slightly easier for me with an ID:
https://app.box.com/s/5d2vfr52fesr8b8utasy
I also noted that all the local stations I heard are in coastal areas of south-west Norway, which would make sense.
FANTASTIC to see many of the above getting right across to the west and south of England, especially Radio Lyngdal with Andy in Shropshire. I know from the chat room that Jim in Bournemouth was hearing the Norwegians when they had dipped right down here. I guess the duct was moving around. Excellent stuff indeed!
Good DX!
