This is one of the best tropos I can remember. Band 2 is solid with strong signals from the most distant, unlikely, rare or never-before-heard transmitters. It's openings like these which restore your faith in the hobby, should you have lost it. Those stations or countries you never thought you would ever hear are there and not just scraping their way through the noise, but are: Giving fully quieting stereo; Have full and instant RDS; Are just sat there like a local for hours on end. Furthest distance was 1250 km from Radio Maryja, Ilawa/Kisielice, on 96.9, toppling Viking FM!
One of the big surprises was the Koszalin transmitter from Poland. This peaked at 70dBf on the XDR-GTK software - minus 20dB for the pre-amp. Seven transmitters from Poland came through, two of which I have not heard of. I just love the openings where you receive transmitter sites you've never even heard of. There were plenty of them too.
Tuning from one end of the band to the other was mesmerising. One frequency after another of strong continental signals. Belmont, Tacolneston and Peterborough, my three closest transmitters, gave way to Danish, German, Swedish, Norwegian and Polish signals. Holland was also strongly received at times but I ignored that as there were far too many other and more distant stations to wade through. The band became noisy at times due to co-channel interference. It was mad. What country was I living in to receive all these signals like this? You wouldn't have easily guesses. The FM band was unrecognisable. OK, I've laid that on a bit thick, but just to stress that this was probably one of those 'once in a lifetime' DX experiences, the likes of which I hope will be received many more times! :)
I tried the OIRT band for Kaliningrad as the Gdansk area was received with good signals. It's just a hop, skip and a jump to Kaliningrad from there, but my XDR-F1HD was overloaded with German and Swedish stations appearing randomly between 66 and 74 MHz. I thought I heard a station from Belarus at one time, but I can probably put it down to overload. I couldn't get any of the necessary Belarusian web streams to work anyway. I would have tried the FDM-S2 but it doesn't work down in the OIRT range.
I recorded two separate IF snapshots of the band with my FDM-S2 (2 x 4 files). These were not recorded at the height of the conditions, though not far off. I was too busy DXing when conditions peaked.

You will need to use Monkey's Audio to decompress thee files: http://www.monkeysaudio.com/ If you don't have an SDR, you can use HDSDR to tune: http://www.hdsdr.de / http://www.hdsdr.de/download/HDSDR_install.exe
I will also add these to the SDR Filesharing group in due course. Uploading large files is difficult these days as my internet has gone back in time 20 years. We don't have 24 hour internet here anymore. The speed is roughly one third of what it should be at best and less than 1 MB at night (I live near the exchange too!) and the connection drops at night. Time to contact Ofcom again.
Good DX!
