** Personal 'First'

I didn't expect this. RDS Spy is able to extract the PI code from even really weak pings now. The duration of these pings can only be less than a tenth of a second and it effortlessly lifts out the PI code and even manages to get some of the PS name too. In comparison, the S2 software, good as it is, lags quite a way behind.

I logged everything I could identify from my overnight recordings, just to satisfy my curiosity as to what is now possible on what was a very average night for meteor scatter. It's complete overkill though. I spent every available minute compiling this log today and it's just way too much. My wife and I agree that I need a life outside this shack. :O} But what a tally of meteor scatter loggings! There's a lot of repetition again, but still quite a few personal firsts. The beam was heading towards 70 degrees for the above and the band is just about as empty as it can be in this direction. Tomorrow I will go vertical towards Italy again.

Good DX!
