** Personal First

A fascinating Es opening to France with lots of personal firsts. Having visited this part of southern France and Northeast Spain twice in the past, staying in Argelès-Sur Mer and Palafrugell, I was familiar with many of the local place names and even remember listening to some of the stations when I was there, so this was a special day of DX. I also remember it was on one of the return trips back home in the car, that I experienced a bit of reciprocal DX when the band opened up from just north of Argelès-sur-Mer, right up to Scotland and Northern Ireland. The most striking part of that reception was a consistently strong signal from BBC Radio Foyle on 93.1 from the Londonderry site. Glasgow stations were also piling through, particularly 100.3 - that might have been Scot FM at that time.

Also in the above log was the very trailing end of an amazing spell of tropo. I only logged the one station. Curiously, just about the only German staton on the band and a brand new one for my log: Antenne Niedersachsen from Göttingen on 106.0. Where did that come from? 

Today was a great day of DX!

Good DX!
