** Personal Skegness 'First'

The briefest of brief sporadic E openings on FM today, plus a new station on 103.9 for me via scatter - not sure why I haven't heard this one before.

My gut feeling for the 103.4 transmitter of Joe FM is Genk since this transmitter comes through well on several other frequencies, but impossible to be certain.

Good DX!
