 ** Personal Skegness 'First'

A very interesting lift to begin the day with three directions coming in at the same time, producing simultaneous reception of Galicia, Ibiza, Catalunya, Languedoc-Roussillon and Sicily! Did I mention Algeria and tunisia too? The Balkans tried to come in shortly after this but signals were very weak, short-lived and nothing was identified from there.

During the evening I was pleasantly surprised to find tropospheric conditions to northern Spain and south-western France, throwing up a few personal firsts. Then the Es returned, partly blocking out the tropo.

Apart from getting the Toulouse transmitter with full RDS - two bars on the XDR, another highlight for me was the reception of Swindon FC's 25 watt outlet on 105.5! I have written to the station to let them know I was listening to them on the Lincolnshire coast.
