For the first time here, some low power stations from the Wallonia region. I was hoping to rise earlier than this but a chest infection kept me in bed longer than I would have liked, so I came into this too late. I' pretty sure signals would have been better a few hours earlier on this occasion. A welcome lift nonetheless so soon after the last one. More please! :)
The opening tried to regain strength during the evening but I did not feel well enough to monitor all the time. A mystery French station escaped me on 99.0. Not RPL, RCV or Radio 6, or anything listed in Belgium, so a mystery.

** Personal Skegness 'First'
A very nice tropo opening which lasted all day! Best signals were from Langenberg, which reached 50dB on 103.3 at 0951!
The weather front which passed through during the evening killed off most of it, leaving some fair signals from Grosser Feldberg, Barbelkreuz, Heidelstein, Brocken, Torfhaus and even Santis, lasting into the early hours of the 29th.
I made lots of video recordings, 81 in total and these can be viewed at my YouTube page at: http://youtube.com/g1vvp
Good DX!

** Personal Skegness 'First'
A very nice tropo opening which lasted all day! Best signals were from Langenberg, which reached 50dB on 103.3 at 0951!
The weather front which passed through during the evening killed off most of it, leaving some fair signals from Grosser Feldberg, Barbelkreuz, Heidelstein, Brocken, Torfhaus and even Santis, lasting into the early hours of the 29th.
I made lots of video recordings, 81 in total and these can be viewed at my YouTube page at: http://youtube.com/g1vvp
Good DX!

Surprising what gets through then the antenna is horizontal sometimes. It's definitely a quirk of propagation. Perhaps true troposcatter as it's just a single fade-in / fade-out and not at all fluttery as with aircraft scatter.

Day two of this excellent Spanish tropo.
While updating my personal all-time log I just noticed something which really surprised me. In my four years of living on the east coast I have log Spanish stations on 36 individual frequencies via tropo. That was up to the 22nd. Then came this rather amazing spell of tropo, during which I added another 42! I logged 46 personal firsts in total, including the French and one UK station!
What a truly amazing tropo this has been!

approximate reception area.
** Personal Skegness 'First'
An evening of spectacular tropospheric DX to northern Spain and south-west France! Definitely my best to this area so far. Furthest distance was the La Coruna transmitter at 1363 km, not a million miles from the Portuguese border.
There were also LOTS of Spanish stations I couldn't identify due to their brief nature. Beaming south-west in vertical polarisation produces a full band of English stations from the Midlands, so the Spanish stations often had quite a fight on their hands.
I had to be extremely careful how I rotated the antenna too as the neighbour's tree is now greatly restricting movement in that direction. After some minor damage, which has since been rectified, I managed to get the antenna vertical and discovered that this was where the action was. Surprisingly, no Spanish tropo was available when the antenna was horizontal. I wanted to flip back to horizontal later on when I discovered local outlets from Bayonne, but it was the early hours of the morning by that time and the G-5500 rotator makes quite a racket. Sound travels well at night, so I kept the antenna vertical. Horizontal to the south-west is a noisy direction for me anyway so I probably wouldn't have benefited much horizontally anyway. I still don't understand why vertical is much quieter in this direction.
Videos of many of the above catches can be seen on my YouTube page: www.youtube.com/g1vvp
Good DX!

** Personal Skegness 'First'
An evening of spectacular tropospheric DX to northern Spain and south-west France! Definitely my best to this area so far. Furthest distance was the La Coruna transmitter at 1363 km, not a million miles from the Portuguese border.
There were also LOTS of Spanish stations I couldn't identify due to their brief nature. Beaming south-west in vertical polarisation produces a full band of English stations from the Midlands, so the Spanish stations often had quite a fight on their hands.
I had to be extremely careful how I rotated the antenna too as the neighbour's tree is now greatly restricting movement in that direction. After some minor damage, which has since been rectified, I managed to get the antenna vertical and discovered that this was where the action was. Surprisingly, no Spanish tropo was available when the antenna was horizontal. I wanted to flip back to horizontal later on when I discovered local outlets from Bayonne, but it was the early hours of the morning by that time and the G-5500 rotator makes quite a racket. Sound travels well at night, so I kept the antenna vertical. Horizontal to the south-west is a noisy direction for me anyway so I probably wouldn't have benefited much horizontally anyway. I still don't understand why vertical is much quieter in this direction.
Videos of many of the above catches can be seen on my YouTube page: www.youtube.com/g1vvp
Good DX!

This was an unexpected and one of my best openings to the far east so far. Reception probably received a boost as it coincided with a sudden rise in geomagnetic activity, which can often produce good results if you are on the band at that very moment.
There is a fair bit of noise across the band but it didn't mask out the above stations. As always, you will need headphones for some of the recordings as they are very weak and sometimes underneath European stations.

927 1700 TJK NHK Radio Japan, Dushanbe/Yangiyul (dsb) Time pips, short interval signal and
vocal ID V weak 5329 km
Conditions still trying hard to recover but not quite getting there.
The time signal from JOIF was clearly heard on 1413 kHz yet again this evening, but still not strong enough for vocal identification. This one is a constant tease!
A Chinese time signal was heard on 1134 at 2000. Interesting to see that the Chinese transmitters on this frequency look like being lower powered, though not all have their powers stated. As a wild guess, perhaps this could be Tongchuan RGD with 10kW.
1359 had FIVE Chinese time signals at 2100, two of which were a couple of seconds past the top of the hour. One of those before the hour is slightly lower in pitch, as if it's a tape playing which has slowed down slightly.
Good DX!

Conditions still trying hard to recover but not quite getting there.
The time signal from JOIF was clearly heard on 1413 kHz yet again this evening, but still not strong enough for vocal identification. This one is a constant tease!
A Chinese time signal was heard on 1134 at 2000. Interesting to see that the Chinese transmitters on this frequency look like being lower powered, though not all have their powers stated. As a wild guess, perhaps this could be Tongchuan RGD with 10kW.
