New Personal Scatter Distance Record!

Click to listen!
Band 2 General Scatter:
107.6 0826  D  Antenne Thüringen, Remda (Saalfeld) (thü) Ads, ID and pop song. First time
               via scatter!  788km


This was received via scatter today and becomes a new record distance for me via this mode.

I don't have a video to show but the identification was heard and the reception was also confirmed by checking the songs heard against the station's web stream. I will gt a video next time as I am sure this will reappear in the near future.

Antenne Thuringen can be heard peaking noise free on scatter when visiting the nearby high spot of Kenwick Top in the Lincolnshire Wolds, bridging a distance of 817 km (508 miles)!

Good DX!
