** Personal Skegness First
A nice midwinter Es opening in the OIRT band. I did not notice any band 2 Es around this time.
This is my first experience of OIRT DXing on the modified Sony XDR-F1HD. It was just like listening on band 2.
It seems meteor scatter is also doing the business since I did the i2c
modification, but I think this is more likely to be down to the
conditions, but there has been a huge drop in my general noise levels at
times over the last couple of days which I suspect has also helped. I
used to need a minimum of 35dBf before I saw any RDS, but now it seems
to be as little as 25dBf. Background noise levels are as low as 4dBf in
places, though a large part of today saw a return of the dreaded noise. I
wonder if I'll ever get to the bottom of this. It's amazing what can be
heard clearly when the noise is not present. Radio Salu on 101.7, noise
free, for instance when it peaks up and conditions are hardly inspiring
at the moment.
Good DX!
