Thanks. That's exactly what it was. Apparently they broadcast from Naples. It really was a good opening, probably the best I've caught, the Italian stations were coming in at strength for at least 2 hours.

Whilst out shopping, the car radio gave me RDS RADIO 1 on 87.7Mhz.
They were playing Greek sounding music up to 10:00BST, so I assumed Greece.
At 10:00BST there were very long, slow pips (can't remember how many) to denote the hour. The station then faded out.
Although there was RDS "RADIO 1" - (all upper case), there was no radio data (this normally shows at bottom of my Blaupunkt MP56 display - record now playing etc.)
On arrival home, after consulting FM List and speaking to John (SkywavesDX), we established this was not Greece.
Does anyone know what I was receiving?
When I arrived home, Band I TV was going crazy on R1 and R2 with Belarus and Russia.
I performed a Band II scan and was greeted with loads of YLE (Finland) stations, plus this one on 97.4Mhz

John told me this was 3kW from Estonia. First time I've knowingly received Estonia!

Correction to my earlier post (above).
I recently returned to the car to see if the mystery station's RDS was still showing on my Blaupunkt radio's display.
It seems I was wrong about the RDS being all in upper case. Here's a photo I took at 14:29BST.
http://i1064.photobucket.com/albums/...6/100_3217.jpg
You'll notice the radio's clock showing BST + 2 hours (16:29). This is most likely because it was receiving YLE stations earlier today.
The tuned frequency was 87.7Mhz
Does anyone know where this mystery Radio 1 is from?
I can't help but also heard that station and assumed it was Greek, hence my post at 11.41 saying I was listening to something Greek sounding.It didnt RDS for me though. A little later I was swamped with Finnish stations including YLE.
The aerial fitter came yesterday - I've now got my aerials sorted. An FM5 (#2) pointing east (hor), 1 m below it the 3 ele Moxon pointing east (vert) and 1 munder that an FM3 facing north-east. A single dipole for the OIRT band is fitted to the boom of the Moxon - picture will be appear in the photo section on Skywaves once it has been released by a moderator and then I hope I can post a link.
I had to go out as soon as it was completed - just as SpE to Italy appeared. Then there was a full scale opening to the East/NorthEast - and I didn't have the OIRT dipole or NE aerial connected - I managed to get the OIRT one done - which worked well with nine stations from Russia - around 1900-200o km and one from Belarus. On Band 2 I got Finland on five frequencies and Sweden on 92.7as it looks like I came in on the tail end of it. [The log is on FMList]
Late yesterday I tested out the performance of the vertical antenna - I don't think there were any lift conditions - but in addition to a fair number of dutch and belgian stations I got Langenberg on 88.8, 99.2 and 106.7 and Radio 100.7 from Luxembourg. Even today with torrential rain earlier Luxembourg is still fading up from the background.

One candidate with the correct RDS from Bulgaria:
Radio 1 - Pazardzhik / VETs Aleko - 0.3kW (!)
http://www.predavatel.com/bg/3/pazardzhik
Although in many countries I take the wattage listed in FMList with a pinch of salt, Bulgaria's radio stations are relatively law-abiding I believe, so good catch!

When I got up this morning HRT-HR 1 was showing on the Denon tuner so I wonder if that is what you received in the car.
On problem with HRT is on car radios (it has the same PI Code as BBC R1 which is C201& tries to catch the strongest frequency) as Sleeper77 very kindly told me.
This has happened to me more than once in the car and also on the Ikasu radio it doesn't do it on the Denon I wonder if this what has happened to you this morning.

Thanks smorris,
I was talking on the phone, earlier this evening, to Nick_G. He told me that I may have actually been receiving HRT-HR 1 from Croatia, because the PI Code is the same as that used for UK Radio 1 (C201). The signal was weak and therefore the radio may have seen PI C201 and wrongly displayed RDS as "Radio 1".
This theory makes sense. At 19:00BST, I listened to the live web stream of HRT-HR 1, so I could again hear the time signal (pips) to denote the hour, and sure enough, it sounded the same as the time signal I heard at 10:00BST.
I think this proves conclusively that I did indeed hear Croatia HRT-HR 1 on 87.7Mhz this morning.
Cheers,
Chris.
Edit. Just read your message Andy. Looks even more likely now.

Sounds good Dave! You should get some excellent logs at your location with that set-up.
Would that last paragraph not be referring to the horizontal aerial? Radio 100,7 and Germany use horizontal polarisation.
It was nice to hear scandinavia and eastern block countries this lunchtime but had to go out but logged these.

I can only sympathise with your situation I would have to move otherwise I would end up being chucked out if I was in your situation anyway good luck.

Hi Nick,
Yes they are definitely on the horizontal FM5 - the one beaming east. I missed that bit out. [The photo is now on Skywaves group under 'DaveB's aerial farm' - which doesn't show the other FM5 which is on the front of the house with the TV aerial].
I now need some multi-way aerial switches for the maximum flexibility - but I think I may have to build something. At the moment the three tuners are festooned with post-it notes to tell me which aerials go where and which RDS Spy program is connected to which radio. I was quite chuffed to find 7211 PI Code (TUN) and Pi code 5215 (I) up simultaneously from unattended monitoring.
It got rather hectic around lunch-time with Russia coming through on the OIRT band at the same time as Finland and Sweden. The visual log on FMLIST is a complete mess with the routes forming one huge red mass.

A very interesting three and a half hour opening to the Baltic area brought in many new catches this morning. This extended to the top of the band, or very close, for most of the duration!
This opening also included the longest duration Russian propagation I have experienced. St Petersburg was the principal area with the Luga transmitter also coming in.
I have managed to find most of my unidentified stations this time but several still remain, so any help would be gratefully appreciated.
I also caught many recordings today, Here is the pick:

Well, conditions have been RUBBISH over the last few days! Then suddenly, the 13th and 14th saw the sporadic E season spring back into life.
I hope others caught the good conditions to the Baltics and to St Petersburg earlier today. A superb opening!
Good DX all!

Cheers, I may look at a 15 pound omnidirectional aerial that can be put by a window. This might help pull in horizontal signals from Germany and Denmark during tropos and use my vertical discone for the Dutch signals. It could be a solution. Failing that I might put my triax poking out the front door.Still great Dx yesterday both on radio and band 1 tv.

“Cheers, I may look at a 15 pound omnidirectional aerial that can be put by a window. This might help pull in horizontal signals from Germany and Denmark during tropos and use my vertical discone for the Dutch signals. It could be a solution. Failing that I might put my triax poking out the front door.Still great Dx yesterday both on radio and band 1 tv.”

As mentioned by others, I hope you get your aerial problems solved soon. I know of a Dutch DXer who uses a Yagi indoors with very good results!

Thanks, thats what I was thinking there's always some sort of solution. Maybe an indoor Moxon as previously mentioned. It's all part of the challenge I guess

Just an idea what about a dipole in a piece of drain pipe and a stand at the bottom then you can move it in and out at your leisure.
Also paint the pipe to a colour that matches the surroundings as I don't think anyone could tell what it is and you could put a umbrella on top if your allowed one.

Yes that is a good idea and worth considering. Interestingly I ignored the no aerial policy and hooked my triax up to a tripod and compared results with my magnetic discone I use . The triax failed to outperform the discone even on horizontally polarised signals beaming in different directions . I guess the lesson I learnt is that a bigger aerials doesn't always perform better.
A good lift tonight from the Netherlands, the bands full of stereo level Dutch and weak French signals.

Are you sure you connected the Triax correctly? It should easily out-perform the Discone.
