** Personal 'First'

After a poor morning yesterday I found there was a dramatic increase in the number of pings and longer bursts. One burst lasted almost two minutes but was too weak to show any RDS. That's always the case though. There's at least a ping per second if you look at the tiniest dots on the File Analyser waterfall, but the huge majority were barely at audio level.

So here's a snapshot of everything identified, excluding the really repetitive 'predictables'. The 9.2 was beamed east and horizontal. In view of the increase in activity I will probably stay east tomorrow but put the 9.2 into vertical mode again.

Pick of the bunch today was Hitradio Ohr from Offenberg on 103.7 with full scrolling RDS: http://youtu.be/Vfy54-Er1ug

Good DX!
