** Personal Skegness 'First'
Very good reception of the regular Dutch transmitters today after a really dismal start. There was a lack of scatter at local midday and then quite a contrast as the conditions suddenly lifted up. Belmont's Classic FM on 100.5 and most of the Tacolneston frequencies were buckling under the pressure of the stronger continental. Had it not been for an alert from Alex Cator I may not have bothered to listen at all today, so THANK YOU Alex.
There were quite a few Dutch locals at the top of the band during the peak of the reception in the early evening, but these were mostly very weak.
At the time of putting this log together, 0011 GMT, conditions are subsiding slightly.
Good DX!
