** Personal First

This was one surprising evening of Indian DX. 21 personal firsts!

As I reported in my log from 2016-10-23, today's log has only come about thanks to an alert from Paul Logan in Northern Ireland, who had been DXing mobile with a 200 foot longwire antenna. He reported many Indian signals across medium wave around 1715 - 1720 hours. I would have missed these completely had it not been for his report to the Yahoo group. I had written off the 25th as a dead loss due to the geomagnetic disturbance, but I had only spot-checked the tops of the hours for DX. So, when I checked around 1715, I was very pleased to find quite a few Indian transmitters myself. As some people say "Note to self" ... Must check between the hours in future :O)

AIR 1080 and 1134 didn't make it through.

This may be the first time some of the above frequencies have been reported in the UK. These have been marked with a "#".

Good DX!
