Continuing with my mission to reduce all Belmont outlets to nothing, I
removed Lincs FM almost completely today. This was the most difficult
one to remove. A bit of playing around with the direction and
polarisation of the 9.2 did the trick, but the beamwidth of the null was
extremely tight. It was interesting to hear the signal from Lincs FM
fading in and out on aircraft scatter. We live only a couple of miles
from a local airfield and I suspect it's the local planes which are
causing this effect as much as the high altitude passenger planes. I
even observed the signal flutter in and out rather abruptly as a pigeon
(or duck?) flew past the antenna!
I recorded meteor scatter on 102.2 but none of it was in parallel with any of the web streams I recorded. It was
the same with the meteor scatter I recorded on 88.8 yesterday.
Good DX!
