Holbeach Log: 2020-06-12 (Es: AZR FIN)

Sporadic E:
 87.7 1917 AZR RDP Antena 3, Pico da Barrosa (RDP) (smg) Occasional bursts of dance music, 
               as web  2617km
 87.9 1928 FIN YLE Radio Yksi, Espoo - Esbo/Saunalahti-Tillinmäki (uu) OM, as web  1665km

I was pleased to catch the Azores once again. They have been received equally as regularly as Italy and the Balkans this season!

I have returned to reporting loggings in chronological order as I feel this will help considering these rapidly changing conditions. 

This log does not necessarily reflect the conditions for the day. Due to time constraints I am only logging personal firsts and other stations of interest. 

Good DX!
