** Personal Skegness 'First'
This was one of the most bizarre tropos I have known, as the videos
should demonstrate. Instead of signals being stable, as you would expect
with tropo ducting, they were up and down like yo-yos. A signal might
have faded in from nothing, gone up to RDS levels, then back down into
the noise in less than half a minute. Brocken and Torfhaus provided the
most consistent signal strengths, but even they were subject to this
choppiness.
I logged most of the German transmitters I received in this opening to
give a complete picture of what happened, but I missed out some NRW
transmitters which were also coming in at enhanced levels, such as
Langenberg, Aachen, Teutoburger Wald, Bonn & Munster. Other regular
continentals from northern France, Belgium and Holland were also up to
40dB most of the time, yet again suffering this strange fluttery effect.
Since my daily Vimeo upload is ten files and I have many more than that,
I have uploaded my videos of the pick of today's DX to my YouTube
channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOrAbHyPpIflDXo62HWyOiA I
know there is at least one video which has had its audio muted. I hope
there aren't any more. If you have any problems hearing the audio please
let me know.
Good DX!
