** Personal Skegness 'Firsts'

I rarely beam north-west but, for the hell of it, I thought I'd give it a go and had a few pleasant surprises.

Come the late afternoon conditions were lifting very nicely to northern parts of Holland. By mid evening, conditions had moved south into Belgium and northern France. Then conditions dipped right down shortly after midnight, which is how they remain this morning.

Just one recording today. Radio 538 on 102.1, a frequency always occupied by Studio Brussel .... not yesterday evening it wasn't!
