Another excellent and mind-boggling tropo and I think the most widespread tropo I have ever known. The propagation path spread from northern Spain, right through to northern Germany, with these and all areas between coming through simultaneously! Complete madness!
I was expecting Poland to make an appearance when conditions spread into northern parts of the Czech Republic, but it didn't materialise.
The Swiss tropo was the strongest I have known but, unlike the last time I had good levels from Switzerland (September 23rd 2013), going vertical did not bring in any low power transmitters. All signals peaked mid-evening, bringing Bavarian transmitters up to 61dB. The Czech Republic reached a whopping 54dB too. Again, bear in mind that I am using a 20dB pre-amp so subtract 20dB from these figures for reality.
And this was the tropo which wasn't forecast! Luckily there were countless alerts flying around the Skywaves groups. How did they get it so wrong? Switzerland and the Czech Republic were received from as far as north-western England!
