Skegness Log: 27-08-14 (FM)

Band 2 Auroral:
 87.8 1803 NOR NRK P1, Hovdefjell (aa) YL news then Brian Ferry, Lets Stick Together, as web 
               805km **
 88.0 1824 NOR NRK1, Gulen or Bagn Music, as web **


** Personal Skegness 'First' via this mode

I have removed a couple of Dutch stations, 87.9 Omroep Zeeland and 88.0 NPO2, from this log as I originally thought they were received via aurora. Their signals peaked to the NNW, the same direction as the aurora at the time, and sounded very scratchy. There was a definite distinction in directivity with their signals fading away completely between N and E and then returning to their regular scatter. After some studies I am still not 100% certain that they could just have been received 'off the back', so I have removed them from the log.

Good DX!
