99.0 1057 F France Culture, Marseille/Grande Etoile (13) I was convinced I heard this
yesterday but just assumed I was imagining it. Choppy signal but
clear. Several 30 second slow fade-ins/outs, as 98.0 in Hoher Meissner
fade. 1149km **
99.0 1114 F France Bleu Périgord, Bergerac/Audrix (24) YL, as web 921km
** Personal 'First'
I am so glad I made several top of the hour recordings overnight. Had I not done this I would not have logged two new Bavarian sites: Gelbelsee and Bamberg.
Plzen was still instantly RDSing at 0300 and 0400. Austria also peaked nicely at 0400. There were still plenty of few strong signals around, but my biggest surprise was the reception of France Culture, Marseille, on 99.0! I was so sure I heard this yesterday but for some reason I couldn't log it. I thought it was my imagination or some tropo-like meteor burst. The signal returned three times this morning and for about 30 seconds each time. Clearly not meteor scatter at all. The tropo maps did not suggest this path would be available to me, but then this was the super-tropo which nobody forecast! Even more surprising was the return of France Bleu Perigord from Bergerac, also on 99.0, which came back to dominate 99.0 shortly afterwards.
May we have another tropo like this very soon!
Good DX!
