This year's Geminids was not the enormous shower the media were predicting, but it was pretty good on the whole. Lots of regulars, so I ignored those and only logged two personal firsts (via this mode) and two rarer catches.

This year's Leonid meteor shower looked like it was going to be something really special as the moment I switched on my SDR there was an intense five minute Scandinavian burst, starting at 2257. But I only added two new stations to the log. Let's see what sunrise brings.

Curiously, there is a 'half speed' Chinese time signal on 1278 at 2100. The pitch is the same, but the duration is twice that of the usual pips. Anybody know who this is?

1359 had FOUR discernible Chinese time signals.

No Noise Is Good Noise (Part 2 - Medium Wave)

This noise destroys the MW band here. I thought I knew roughly where it was coming from, but it seems to be 'everywhere' !!

I tried my running my medium wave DX setup from a leisure battery, switching off the electricity supply in my house, but it did not stop the noise.

The noise puts in two appearances each day. From approximately 1500 - 1900 and again from approximately 0600 - 0800.

The bad news is that as we head deeper into the MW DX season, the peak DX times also move into the noise periods.

Using my Degen DE1103, I have walked around all corners of my garden and the noise is at full scale deflection on the signal meter. It does, however, seem to be slightly quieter in one corner of the garden. I will be clearing this space to put my flag there as soon as possible.

Based on this information, and if I am correct, the noise is coming from a northerly to north-easterly direction. Further investigation is needed.

Even when this noise is absent. there are other elements of noise across the band, ranging from burbling, buzzing and general hash across many frequencies.

Medium Wave DXing is going to be a challenge this season.

** Personal First

An excellent opening to Poland. But I find myself wondering why I have never had much Polish E skip in the past. It's plain to see that I haven't due to the large number of personal firsts (63 out of the 113 loggings!), yet Poland is the perfect distance for an E skip opening. It just goes to show how unpredictable this hobby is. You never know what's going to pop up next and I know we will all be thankful for that as DXers.

Reception of Belarus was also very good with a large number of stations remaining unidentified due to the lack of available RDS. I could guess a few, but I did not want to assume too many.

Good DX!

** Personal First

This was a nice Spanish opening which DIDN'T focus on the regular DX which usually dominates. Instead, I was treat to a bandful of Catalunyan stations from the Girona and, later, the Barcelona areas. It didn't last though as it soon transferred over to the Balearic Islands and then moved back to the west and concentrated on the usual predictability that is Alicante, Murcia and Valencia.

I was amazed by the number of Spanish stations using the wrong country prefix in their PI codes. But there were some VERY good signals, some actually stronger than my local Belmont transmitter, but RDS was often difficult or impossible due to co-channel interference, etc. It's alsays nice to watch Belmont get buried. :)

Good DX!
