** 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.

Good DX!
