** Personal Skegness 'First'


Very pleased with today's haul. Tim Bucknall still has the credit of hearing Radio 4 from Divis on 96.0 here while tuning my XDR remotely a week or two ago. I heard and logged it for the first time myself today. BBC Radio Ulster from Divis on 94.5 has no chance here with such a strong signal from Peterborough when beaming west-ish.
