** Personal Skegness 'First'

Very little in the way of German tropo made it here today. Just the usual Langenberg and weak signals from Haarddtkopf, Koblenz and Donnersberg during the early evening. Radio Salu on 101.7 was weak around 10pm local but we had company so I wasn't able to listen much. I kept checking the band at regular intervals though.

There was much more in the way of northern and central France than my log would suggest with Bourges and Troyes at two bars on the XDR-F1HD.

Hopefully I will have more time to listen tomorrow.

Good DX!
