** Personal First

Meteor scatter conditions were very much the same as the 3rd with the same Dutch and UK stations received across the same time span, but I avoided duplication here.

The 1024 burst was the only reasonable burst of the last three mornings. This produced several Danish locals, two of which were strong enough for RDS. Conincidentally, both were on the same frequency. Videos here:

Sweden's Vinyl FM appeared on 107.5 during this burst. A station carrying the same programming also appeared on 106.7 at the same time, but I could not see a Vinyl FM there. Maybe a new outlet?

The 1024 burst also brought several networked stations playing Reggaeton music on ten or more frequencies. 103.9 was the strongest and just about at RDS levels. My guess is that these were all outlets of the Rix FM network. It's a great pity I couldn't confirm this as some of these transmitters were very low powered.

Since medium wave is so shockingly poor at the moment, I will probably make more MS recordings over the next few days. Once again I will aim my 9.2 towards the north-east, vertically.

Good DX!
