** Personal Skegness 'First' via the respective mode

A very repetitive night of meteor scatter. Just three stations popped up, but repeatedly, over and over again! They were: CRo Vltava, Ústí nad Labem; Big FM (Rheinland-Pfalz), Ober-Olm and Frekvence 1, Brno. I did not hear any other station via meteor scatter until shortly after 0700 when Radio Ognjisce, Krvavec broke the monotony.

General scatter continues to bring new stations to my logbook and much of it is noise free.

Radio Kiepenkerl on 107.4 was a possibility earlier today (25th), though I couldn't rule out this being Radio Lippe as the programming on their web stream sounded similar to that of Radio Kiepenkerl's. It definitely wasn't Radio Wuppertal. It would be useful to know if and when these local NRW stations have their own programming, rather than just inserting local IDs and drop-ins.

Good DX!
