** Personal Skegness 'First'

This Scandinavian opening was yet another pleasant surprise of the season. I was searching for tropo, not expecting any Es, but while looking for Denmark I noticed Finland was coming in at the bottom of the band. Then the opening got closer, travelling westward over Sweden and Norway. It was an opening of mostly higher powered outlets and managed to spread up to 105.2. Definitely the best Scandinavian Es I have ever experienced! I finally received the Aaland Islands for the first time ever too!

Back to the tropo now, what little there is left. It's fading away quite rapidly now.

Good DX!
