** 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!

The Perseids became more active during the morning of the 12th. I received a surprisingly large number of Danish locals, all of them personal firsts. 105.4 had a punch up between two Danish locals. Each time I played the recording through I managed to squeeze more RDS data out of them. The PI codes of both stations appeared each time. I uploaded a few videos of these to my YouTube channel:

Disappointingly low numbers of meteor bursts during the hours of dawn. Once again, it's hard to believe we are in the midst of a major meteor shower.

A very typical Spanish Es opening! This has to be the most commonly received part of Spain. A couple of personal firsts sort of made up for it.

The big catch-up is still in full swing. There aren't too many files left before I have completed 2017, then there are only a few files from 2018, then I will be up to date.

Good DX!
