** Personal First

Tropospheric:
The tropo was concentrated along southern parts of England throughout most of the day. I was not expecting anything to happen here, but conditions took off in the evening, initially quite slowly with very weak signals. Conditions improved nicely after 2000 with the appearance of RDS on a few transmitters. Sackpfeife and Donnersburg provided the best signals in the low 50s dBf. Conditions then moved around quite quickly, allowing different areas to propagate individually. Also apparent was the instability of some signals, almost like Es at times. I flipped the 9.2 vertical when Bourges was giving instant RDS and I heard many vertical French signals, most from the Lille area, but Holland quickly put paid to the French verticals and so I flipped the 9.2 back to horizontal. The tropo continued nicely into the early hours of the 16th.

Meteor Scatter:
The Leonids may be starting as there was a sizeable increase in activity overnight. Lack of time beat me and I only had time to analyse two of the five hours I recorded. Hoping for more free time tomorrow.

Good DX!
