Band 2 Meteor Scatter:
108.0 0104 I Love FM, Corato/Monte Ripanno (ba) Rod Stewart song, as web 1796km **
108.0 0135 I Radio Studio Emme, Ercolano-Vesuvio/Area Osservatorio (na) Slow Italian YL pop
song, as web. Eight second burst 1730km **
108.0 0145 I Radio Maria, Multiple sites Choir. Six second burst **
** Personal Skegness 'First'
I didn't expect to hear much meteor scatter on 108.0, especially as the 9.2 was vertical, but I was pleasantly surprised as there were quite frequent pings and short bursts.
Radio Maria was the most consistent station. What a surprise!
What was interesting about 108.0 was the number of stations which got through. I recorded six Italian streams, but most of the pings I heard were from other stations. Radio Cuore and Studio Piu were probably received but the pings I heard were too short for comfort. I will definitely be recording 108.0 again very soon.
Good DX!
