Possibly the best Auroral Es I have known, though I remember another sustained AuEs opening to the top of the band, very similar to this, in which Finland and Sweden gave good signals late one evening when living in Nottinghamshire - I cannot remember the date for that and those loggings may have been lost.

What surprised me was the number of low power transmitters I received.

My antenna was best when beamed NNE. I tried other directions but this seemed to be best, though it did seem to need a gradual nudge to the north as conditions progressed. That would make sense with the aurora moving more to the west over time.

I didn't receive the Faroes, probably because I was just too close for the conditions at the time. Iceland was a nice surprise, but I had hoped to receive more from there too. I did have a pop station on 90.4, however, while Vestmannaeyjabær was in on 88.1, probably Radio X from the same site - a station occasionally received via summertime Es.

I rotated the antenna north-west for the remainder of the morning, looking for meteor scatter and, potentially, more AuEs, but none were received. The only meteor scatter received was from France and Spain and nothing from North America (if only!).

A great start to 2016!

Happy New Year to all and Good DX!
