Will this tropo ever end? We're into day five now and, yes, it is starting to fizzle, but not without a final blast. Some Germans remain, but my attention has been drawn to Sweden now, which is occupying many frequencies. At least 16 Swedish transmitters were heard around the midday period and there were two or three new ones in there for me, the furthest being the Norrköping transmitter at 1174 km, very close to eastern Swedish coast. You begin to realise that Finland is actually a good contender for band 2 reception one day.

Just before the tropospheric activity disappeared, I managed to hear a very weak Koszalin on 97.4. I followed this for ten minutes, hearing music, an OM and commercials, well down into the noise and barely audible, but unmistakably there.

So, this is the conclusion of yet another amazing spell of band 2 tropospheric activity!

Good DX!
