** Personal 'First'

There was a lot of meteor activity overnight but signals were below RDS threshold. Those stations which did get through were common or garden stations. The amount of repetition was unbelievable. Patterns became established and the same transmitters kept popping up, over and over again. Had it not been for the rush of activity around the sunrise period I would have had very little to report. This peak of activity came to an end abruptly around 1000.

29 personal firsts in one session is still well beyond my expectations, plus I have acquired another three MS frequencies. Thirteen remain.

Good DX!
