Today was more or less a repeat of yesterday, with the same areas coming in. Add Denmark, Norway and Sweden, however, but nothing from Poland unfortunately. Conditions seemed to be constantly up and down, just like yesterday, but with slightly stronger signals. Norway and Denmark even produced some RDS.

There was a fair amount of DX from within England and south Wales too. Some semi-local BBC national transmitters were un-nullable, but I wonder if the conditions had something to do with this. I remember having two-bar XDR signals from LBC 97.3 and Skyrock, St Omer 106.9 while beaming NNE towards Norway. Swinging the 9.2 around to point directly at these two did not alter their reading at all. It was as if the tropo was coming in from above.

At the time of posting this I am still getting RDS from Denmark and Norway, but also one or two Germans too - all three bar signals on the XDR.

The band is also quite noisy with the weight of the DX as more than one station try to dominate some frequencies.


A couple of recordings to demonstrate the strength of the Lyngdal transmitter - easily the strongest DX of today.
