** Personal 'First'

Beaming south, south-east this morning and I have only logged the less common / first timers again. Not much else was heard really. I have omitted the usual Czech and Polish regulars, also Marseille, Troyes and Leipzig, which are heard multiple times every single night. Strasbourg is a regular 'burster' too, but this is the first time I have had 101.4 on meteor scatter.

Meteor activity this January and February has not been as frequent as for the same period last year.

Back to beaming east tomorrow!

Good DX!
