Radio Wuppertal 107.4 has been in daily via scatter recently. 107.4 used to be dominated by SWR4 Rheinland-Pfalz from Koblenz, but this has been less frequent recently. I love it how these general trends slowly change over time.

I will also submit loggings in chronological format in future. I know some of you prefer to see loggings in frequency order. Personally, I am torn between the two and would like to include loggings in both odrers, but that would be adding to the work involved. Most logbooks show detail in chronological order these days and I am basing my choice on that alone.

Good DX!
