Oh well, better luck next time.”
Not much here in Cheshire, which is surprising as we've had the best weather in the country for the past 7 days or so.
Nothing different on DAB and no particular FM tropo here either. Any SpE's I must have missed too.
Nothing beats September 2004, before installing a roof top aerial, switching on a portable radio to find Key 103 gone with what I thought was an enhanced Beacon 103.1, but it was Invicta 103.1! Capital 95.8 replaced BBC Merseyside, BBC Oxford 95.2 replaced BBC Manchester 95.1, Kiss 100 had replaced Sutton Coldfield Classic 100.1 and BBC Kent 104.2 had knocked out BBC Cymru 104.3 (which is a stonker of a signal in my location!), Horizon 103.3 wiped out MFM103.4 and numerous other stations from the South East.
I got a roof-top aerial as a result of that event, and have never had a tropo quite like it since!
