** Personal First

I thought I'd start the day looking at Dutch scatter. Some of this is better than I've received it before which makes me wonder if some of the Dutch transmitters have been changed, either by power increases or other improvements. Or maybe it's just a case of the scatter being better lately.

The amount of meteor scatter came as a surprise. The Eta Aquarids are possibly to blame for this, even though they are supposed to be a southern hemisphere shower. Some of them must have spilled over into the northern hemisphere.

Yet more early season Es and a few firsts.

Good DX!
