It was the turn of 88.2 overnight. There were lots of classical music bursts but due to shared programming it was not possible to be more specific which station it was, but both NDR Kultur and Bayern 2 came in numerous times, including NDR Kultur with an actual vocal ID.

Signals would have been sufficient to produce RDS but I didn't use Bandicam overnight as this poor computer is being pushed to enough extremes with dozens of huge audio files as it is (and it's starting to buckle). What I find amazing is that there are so many different stations coming through, it's impissible to make any guesses. It seems that it's mostly the more powerful transmitters are producing the RDS while the lower powered transmitters are still pushing through with great ease.

Once again, I have logged ALL instances of identified meteor scatter just to show the regularity of the signals. Quite amazing stuff.

Good DX!
