** Personal Skegness 'First'

We are now (just about) settled at the new address. I am currently using a temporary Triax FM5 at rooftop height. Hopefully the 9.2 will be on a scaffolding pole above the rooftop very soon. Being only a few hundred yards from my old QTH I was pleased to discover that my grid square remains the same, so no need to start new logbooks. .

Good to hear Brocken on band 2 again. So far this has been daily on scatter. Pretty good going for the time of year. I think I can also hear Inselberg on 97.2, but it's way down in the FM mush. Good to hear Bungsberg again too.

Meteor scatter is still been very good for the time of year but my overnight session was cut short this morning when my internet connection mysteriously dropped and I lost all the streams after a couple of hours.

Good DX!
