** Personal Skegness 'First' via the respective mode

After several days of scatter from Brocken, Torfhaus and Inselberg, all reception has now gone after a front moved through this evening. Even Lille is not getting through. Sutton Coldfield has also disappeared and Belmont has dropped a few dB. This would normally make things good for meteor scatter, but even that seems to be down. So much for a possible peak. Perhaps things will recover over the next few hours.

Good DX!
