** Personal First
Here's a video to show how Marseille was received: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrLH8nQEKaY
Another exceptional tropo event with low power outlets from SOUTH-EAST France!!
I never thought it would be possible to receive the Marseille transmitter via tropo, but I have received it THREE TIMES this year and almost up to RDS levels on this occasion!
The transmitters at Monestier-de-Clermont and La Chapelle-en-Vercors are tentative and nothing more than, but the programmes carried are 100% correct. These two are the most likely possibilities, given the conditions and were also suggested by other DXers. Also, looking at their transmitter patterns, these have both radiate well in my direction.
Good DX!
