Hit Radio FFH and Radio Salue were the most frequent 'bursters' on 100.0 overnight, but Radio PSR was also quite frequent.

I made a shocking discovery when I calculated the total size of my overnight downloads this morning .... 16GB!!! I had no idea it was that much. Mind you, I recorded 25 streams for almost ten hours. It's a good job that my Sky package offers truly 'unlimited' bandwidth, though I am sure it doesn't work quite like that. I think I need to cut down a little.

Aircraft scatter was slightly down on yesterday but Brocken still got through on 89.0. This was consistent throughout daylight hours but remained very poor.

Good DX!
