** Personal Skegness 'Firsts'


I finally received Bressay today instead of the more regular Forfar.

Apart from Bressay breaking through, I was also extremely pleased to have received the Whitby relay of Yorkshire Coast Radio on 103.1. This transmitter is tucked away below the North Yorkshire Moors and wouldn't have stood any chance of getting out were it not for this evening's tropo. Having visited Whitby many times I knew how this transmitter just stood little or no chance of getting out, other than over water. Yorkshire Coast Radio from Oliver's Mount was RDSing with two bars at the time.

Es appeared around local midday but I had to leave them due to an emergency trip to the dentist. I would rather have stayed at home DXing, would you believe!!
