** Personal first

Another impressive day of sporadic E from around Europe. More high strengths right across the band. The Hungarian and Portuguese reception in particular was nothing short of spectacular.

In order to minimise the time spent on the computer, I am only logging personal firsts and stations of interest. I just don't have the time to record hours of DX and spend huge amounts of time as I once did.

Good DX!
