** Personal Skegness 'First' via the respective mode

Scatter really struggling this morning due to the current spell of unsettled weather and my 9.2 has been lowered because of high winds.

There has only been a minor appearance of the Perseids though. 90.8 was chosen for my overnight recording where Bornberg was the most persistent burster by some margin. Cottbus was also quite frequent.

Good DX!
