** Personal 'First'

Barely any meteor scatter overnight with the 9.2 vertical to the south-west, but some welcome 700+km general aircraft/troposcatter during the early afternoon. Scatter from the Teutoburger Wald transmitter was particularly good today with some decent noise free peaks. So far this year, scatter seems to be well up compared to this time last year.

Good DX!
