** Personal 'First'

Meteor activity still on the low side. I thin one more overnight session in the vertical place and then I will return the 9.2 to horizontal.

Nice to receive Kaliningrad again as this is such a difficult country to catch on band 2. Meteor scatter seems to be the easiest way to catch this rare 'country'.

Scatter had improved today with conditions starting to resemble those experienced in the summer.

Good DX!
