** Personal first

This log is the result of a mobile DX trip, thie files from which I had forgotten.

The band was full of transatlantic signals, with more than one transatlantic station being on many frequencies. This log represents the more interesting catches and regularly heard stations are omitted.

This was another frustrating DX session as most top of the hour recordings didn't happen because of problems with the laptop I was using at the time. Pressing the record button on the Perseus usually resulted in the laptop freezing and in need of a reboot. Still, there are some new stations in the log which I have not received in Skegness before.

Good DX!
