** Personal Skegness 'First'

Another amazing night of MS activity, thanks to the S2 and lots of nice surprises.

There was a short burst of what sounded like Gaelic singing on 104.7 at 1017 which I believe might be BBC Radio Nan Gaidheal from Skraig. Skraig was a frequent visitor elsewhere overnight so this is highly likely. Also received via the same burst were stations on 102.5, 102.3 and 102.1. Now this is pure speculation, but I can't help but wonder if 102.5 was Moray Forth Radio from Caithness (1.2kW), 102.3 was Nevis FM from Mallaig (800 watts) and 102.1 was NECR from Meldrum (1.25 kW). 104.7 and 102.5 were easily at RDS levels but, since the UK transmitters radiate less data than Europeans, this did not form - another clue maybe? Perhaps I should check this direction more often.

Good DX!
