** Personal 'First'
I set the S2 on record while I was out this evening as it looked like the band might open for Es. It didn't! So I had a look through the 140 minute waterfall grab for meteor scatter instead. Predictably, it was just the usual stuff, mostly, but there was one new one from Plzen in the form of Kiss Proton on 90.0.

** Personal 'First'
Another belter of an opening! Lots of recordings and not a lot of time for live listening, so plenty of recordings were checked afterwards.
There was a big frustration today. The FM List website was extremely slow when it came to entering loggings. This appears to be a Windows 7/64 problem, or the fault of my poor, overworked computer. I am quite sure it is not the FM List itself as the problem exists at 03:00 in the morning. At worst, it takes fur to five minutes to enter a logging. The Windows egg timer just goes round and around and around. Clearing my cache doesn't help. Neither does re-starting the computer. Switching browsers can help ... for a few minutes, then it's back to square one, so it has been a battle to compile today's log.
The conditions? Lots of stations from a wide area. It wasn't always easy to determine the sites as there was more than one path coming in from the same country, at the same time, so many loggings got away. Even so, I am very pleased with 228 loggings and 88 personal firsts.
I was driving through town when I was first aware of the opening. I turned on the car radio, which had been left on 87.9, to hear French and the RDS "INTER" and France Inter red and white logo displayed on the screen. I love RDS v2.0 as the station's logo can appear before the PS name.
When Italy appeared around 1723, signals were peaking at S9+50dB on the FDM-S2. (Don't forget to factor in my 20dB pre-amp.)
Good DX!

** Personal 'First'
Another belter of an opening! Lots of recordings and not a lot of time for live listening, so plenty of recordings were checked afterwards.
There was a big frustration today. The FM List website was extremely slow when it came to entering loggings. This appears to be a Windows 7/64 problem, or the fault of my poor, overworked computer. I am quite sure it is not the FM List itself as the problem exists at 03:00 in the morning. At worst, it takes fur to five minutes to enter a logging. The Windows egg timer just goes round and around and around. Clearing my cache doesn't help. Neither does re-starting the computer. Switching browsers can help ... for a few minutes, then it's back to square one, so it has been a battle to compile today's log.
The conditions? Lots of stations from a wide area. It wasn't always easy to determine the sites as there was more than one path coming in from the same country, at the same time, so many loggings got away. Even so, I am very pleased with 228 loggings and 88 personal firsts.
I was driving through town when I was first aware of the opening. I turned on the car radio, which had been left on 87.9, to hear French and the RDS "INTER" and France Inter red and white logo displayed on the screen. I love RDS v2.0 as the station's logo can appear before the PS name.
When Italy appeared around 1723, signals were peaking at S9+50dB on the FDM-S2. (Don't forget to factor in my 20dB pre-amp.)
Good DX!

The day began with weak signals from Bulgaria. Then conditions dropped off dramatically. The 6m map looked very quiet indeed, such that I went out for a couple of hours and didn't bother to leave the FDM-S2 recording. I just knew there wouldn't be any more openings. How wrong I was. My return home found sporadic E to the top of the band.
A solid three hour session followed, most of which had to be recorded. How glad I am to have an SDR which can record almost a third of the band at a time. I recorded more than 100 minutes of the DX in total, playing back later in the evening. I couldn't go through all of it though as there was just too much. I concentrated on Portugal, one of my favourite Es DX countries and many new stations were heard. I decided to ignore the recordings where Spanish signals took over.
This wasn't a strong opening by any means, but there were a few good signals and, beaming around 210 degrees, produced a sufficient drop in signals from some of my local pests that Portuguese stations were easily able to override Great Massingham, Peterborough, Mendlesham, Stoke Holy Cross and Tacolneston.
I tried something different during this opening and I was surprised by the difference it made. It was thanks to Andy Webster who commented in the Skywaves Skype chat, that he had switched to his vertical FM antenna which made the Portuguese DX stronger. I have always believed, no doubt incorrectly, that vertical is never a good polarisation for sporadic E reception, but that's how it's always been for me whenever I have flipped polarisation. I was pleasantly surprised on this occasion.
Good DX!

The day began with weak signals from Bulgaria. Then conditions dropped off dramatically. The 6m map looked very quiet indeed, such that I went out for a couple of hours and didn't bother to leave the FDM-S2 recording. I just knew there wouldn't be any more openings. How wrong I was. My return home found sporadic E to the top of the band.
A solid three hour session followed, most of which had to be recorded. How glad I am to have an SDR which can record almost a third of the band at a time. I recorded more than 100 minutes of the DX in total, playing back later in the evening. I couldn't go through all of it though as there was just too much. I concentrated on Portugal, one of my favourite Es DX countries and many new stations were heard. I decided to ignore the recordings where Spanish signals took over.
This wasn't a strong opening by any means, but there were a few good signals and, beaming around 210 degrees, produced a sufficient drop in signals from some of my local pests that Portuguese stations were easily able to override Great Massingham, Peterborough, Mendlesham, Stoke Holy Cross and Tacolneston.
I tried something different during this opening and I was surprised by the difference it made. It was thanks to Andy Webster who commented in the Skywaves Skype chat, that he had switched to his vertical FM antenna which made the Portuguese DX stronger. I have always believed, no doubt incorrectly, that vertical is never a good polarisation for sporadic E reception, but that's how it's always been for me whenever I have flipped polarisation. I was pleasantly surprised on this occasion.
Good DX!
