** Personal Skegness 'First'
A slow, teasing and slightly disappointing opening, but still nice to have some Es. It was one of those opening which felt like it took a long time to hear very little.
My logging of an unidentified Arabic station on 90.0 is interesting. The PI code, D311, was correct, according to the software - in other words there was no question mark next to it, so error checking would have been done. I received a suggestion that this might be Libya. Is "D" their prefix? I cannot find the RDS Country Code List which used to be available on the internet. It seems there are a few Libyans using RDS now.
Good DX!
