** Personal 'First'

What a day! 14 countries received:

Austria
Belarus
Bulgaria
Czech Republic
Germany
Estonia
Finland
Hungary
Croatia
Lithuania
Latvia
Poland
Romania
Russia
Serbia
Slovakia

This was a great opening as it is still early in the season. There were plenty of low power catches too and even some short hop to Germany! The Baltic opening was the best for Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia I have experienced. I have uploaded two files of this reception, available for download here:

You will need Monkey's Audio to de-compress the files. http://www.monkeysaudio.com/

The signals are mostly weak so this should be a good test for RDS software. Interesting how stations from these countries were prodicing RDS with very weak and noisy signals.

Again, it's thanks to the FDM-S2 that I was able to record the openings and play them back later.

Good DX!
