** Personal Skegness 'First'


Another good day of tropo with plenty of signals and plenty of movement. There were some good signals again though they were choppy at times, more so during the evening. I ignored the more regular tropo transmitters.

The best catch today was one which got away - B5 Aktuell on 106.9, I think from the Brotjacklriegel transmitter, which would have been a tropo first for me. The Grunten transmitter of B5 Aktuell also uses 106.9 and was heard earlier, along with other stations from the Grunten transmitter. Tonight, I am assuming this was Brotjacklriegel because none of the other Grunten stations were audible this time. I thought the antenna beam was slightly further towards the east too, though the difference in bearing would be negligible. The other Brotjacklriegel stations were on blocked frequencies, ironically, blocked by other German stations, though I think I heard Bayern 1 on 92.1. Alas, it was just too weak for any certainty. So Brotjacklriegel got away on this occasion.
