** Personal First (Skegness)

An interesting morning with conditions favouring the Michigan area. Thanks to everybody who listened to my recording of 1440. The general consensus was that this was WMAX. Thank you Matthias, Max, Torgeir, Paul C, Thomas Cobley, etc. for your help with this.

There were a lot of stations which 'got away' this morning. Very good conditions for February too, usually a less interesting month. Saying this somewhat cautiously, but I think we are now, very gradually, starting to wave goodbye to the solar maximum. There have been more days of DX in 2016 than there were at the end of 2015.

Good DX!
