** Personal 'First'

This was a great morning for meteor scatter with lots of less common DX and plenty of new additions to the log. There were dozens more good meteor bursts which didn't produce RDS because of co-channel QRM or were just slightly too weak.

Paris was represented very nicely in a birst at 0417. All the meteor bursts tied in with Parisienne stations though only two of them produced RDS.

Videos of the best bits have been uploaded to my YouTube page. Yes, I know I keep saying I am going to switch to Vimeo and I know I should do this sooner rather than later. Force of habit.

Good DX!
