There's a battle going on between UBC Ireland and RMC France on 87.6

Classic fm from Wrotham and oxford are both up also.

I am listening to Radio London on 94.6 as Radio Lincolnshire has disappeared unless Radio Lincolnshire carries London does anyone know.

A few signals about so far from:

Biedenkopf

Großer Feldberg

Daum/Scharterberg

Teutoburger Wald

Signals are weak but I wasn't expecting this! Luxembourg is also enhanced on 88.9/100.7.

A classical music station was in here just now on 87.6 via E-skip. Has been in for about 15 minutes - I think it's Latvia.

What a shame I have to go out very shortly...

Apologies for the awful spelling - trying to tune and type at the same time.

The morning started with some reasonable tropo to Germany and topped off with a late-season SpE opening. I'd got in again at 2pm and found JEDKYNA on 88.3 MHz in full RDS. Immediate thought was is there anything on the OIRT and logged a number of stations. I had to go out at 14:45 to my daughter's house in Strood - so took the PL390 with me. From around 15:50 - 16:10 I found the OIRT band was still/again open - but I was nowhere near any resource to identify the stations.

OIRT aerial is a dipole favouring east/west - about 6m agl on the same mast as the three Band II aerials.

Hopefully the tropo will be good again these evening after sunset.

Log of reception below - and looking at the FM Visual Logbook there was a big Sp-E opening - which just reached the SouthEast corner of the UK.

Nice log there Dave. I only got a handful of signals from Germany and the usual LUX 88.9/100.7 yesterday morning. The Es were a nice surprise too!

France/Belgium/Luxembourg are enhanced this morning (just turned the tuner on) but signals are choppy. Should get more interesting tonight hopefully.

I am receiving France Musique on 88.7 at the moment as I have checked with the online stream.

I also had a French station on 87.6 about an hour ago.

France Musique is RDSing here now on 88.7 s and Ireland has dropped back so
things are moving in the right direction.

Edit I am receiving France Bleu Nord 94.7 and France Info
105.2 at high levels

I am receiving a spanish station no ID yet on 107.8 now using horizontal as the vertical receives Pure fm.


It sounds like commentary of a game of some sort.

Cadena Dial has been in three times tonight and half an hour ago it was noise free and then it faded out.

Lille is still hanging on but that has dropped back.

I am receiving Remix radio test transmissions on 108.0 which is clearer than it was last night anyone know where it's from and they keep mentioning (CB radio chat) I know there's an internet stream for this station.

106.9 B5 Aktuell Grünten in again here, just 10 days after the last lift in that direction

Very odd as the Hepburn maps suggest a lift to the north of Germany.

Some other Germans heard over the last hour:

91.1 NDR 1 Niedersachsen Steinkimmen
100.5 WDR 4 Teutoburger Wald
106.7 WDR 1Live 2 bars stereo

B5 Aktuell still just about making it in on 106.9.

1Live on 106.7 has gone but 107.9 has replaced it - 1 bar and more or less fully-quieting. KMFM was on here earlier this morning.

Bavaria has gone.

Well what a day yesterday anyway after burning the midnight oil I went to bed at 01:30 and left Spain to it.

This morning at 10:00 nothing only that boom boom music on 87.5 in the back of the box.
10 mins ago HR3 87.6 made an appearance but is in and out of the noise.

Here's my log for yesterday.
