** Personal Skegness 'First'

Thank you Tim Bucknall in Congleton for suggesting 102.5 for an overnight meteor session. This was a VERY productive frequency. To emphasize this, I logged all stations identified next their web streams (I recorded 17 overnight). Again, it's a little repetitive, but hopefully it paints a clear picture of what's happening. Tim was curious to learn if I would receive Kaliningrad and I am very pleased to report that I did indeed receive this rare 'country'. Bruce Springsteen's "High Hopes" appeared at 0540 and I was able to confirm that this was exactly the same as the Radio Mayak web stream which I recorded throughout the entire night. Ten hours of each stream were recorded in total. That's 170 hours of audio. I decided to have one last big blow out before tomorrow's move. Just about everything is packed and ready to go.

All this was possible, despite the garden FM5 receiving some noise over the last 24 hours, more so than it has done previously. Things are really getting bad here. I just hope the move to the new property proves to be far less noisy. At least I will have a greater choice of places to mount the 9.2.

Good DX!
