Band 2 Meteor Scatter:
103.6 2031 POL Radio Nadzieja, Lomza/Komin CM (PL) 301C 1442km **
** Personal 'First'
Meteor scatter was scarce today, plus I had problems with my overnight recordings. Since I had forgotten to delete some of yesterday's recordings, there was insufficient space on my hard drive and so recording stopped when the drive became full. The FDM-SW2 software warns me, before the recordings start, that there is insufficient space on the drive, but this time it didn't. I looked at the "Disable low disc space check" in the recording settings but that was not selected so I have no idea why this happened. Hopefully this was just a one-off glitch.
I usually record six hours of the band overnight and had substantially less this time. Probably less than a third. To make up for this and also the poor conditions, I made two additional 90 minute recordings during the evening, which was just enough to dig out one solitary logging.
Good DX!
