** Personal First

A welcome return to band 2 Es on what is showing every indication on being the worst Es season I have known. It's early days and it could all change, but May has been very disappointing so far.

The OIRT band produced Ukraine and Belarus around the late afternoon but, thanks to computer problems, I couldn't get any audio to work from web streams so all signals got away.

All reception above was done with traditional single channel DXing on the XDR-F1HD using the GTK software. My FDM-S2 is out of action, again due to computer problems.

Good DX!
