A new one for me:

89.3 France Culture Besançon

Also 89.5 France Culture Limoges.

Will have to look out for Switzerland as I believe Besançon is near the Swiss border.

The band is getting full!

Band is full of French, Belgian ,Dutch and German all making stereo at times. A new one for me is a German speaking station on 104.7.

It's a complete German invasion on 87.6,90.3,104.7,105.7,106.7 and 107.1. To add to that the French stations are still fairly strong.

Well, at least on 88.5 anyway which is the weakest of the Rowridge signals beaming east. Just France Culture on here at present.

Several txes in central France coming in:

Bourges
Besançon
Troyes
Chartres
Chaumont
probably Clermont Ferrand as well

Think I heard a France Musique on 91.5 too, maybe Toulouse Pic-du-Midi?

Germany still present as well with a noisy stereo signal from hr3 on 87.6 from Biedenkopf.

I must be too low down here in the centre of Bristol; I'm receiving nowt. I'm a stone's throw from Pur Down as well which doesn't help around 97.2 etc.

Hopefully there'll still be some stuff around tomorrow morning on my way to work!

Well, there's not a thing here in Lincoln that remotely resembles DX, so I'm off to bed.

Looks like we have another North/South divide. Those lucky enough to be in southern counties and East Anglia seem to be reaping the benifits of this tropo.

Good DX,

Some more unusual French ones:

103.2 France bleu Berry (instead of Capital)
101.3 France bleu Auxerre presumed (instead of Classic FM)

A super lift into central France!

87.9 has ARD Nachtkonzert programming. I presume this is MDR Figaro from Inselsberg.

On dab all stations are really unstable on the aerial in the loft tonight apart from bbc

Still lots of signals across the band from France & Germany here, from similar areas to last night. Will have to try more thoroughly tonight if the lift is still going.

Again, lots of French across the dial here in Cheltenham, unfortunately no time to ID any before leaving for work - BBC London, Capital, and BBC Devon all very strong today...

It must be further to the East than me then! On the way through South Gloucestershire and Wiltshire this morning the only thing I noticed was some enhanced main transmitters with the RDS on Radio 1 choosing Oxford and Rowridge over Wenvoe for a lot of the journey.

I got about a two second burst of France Bleu on 100.7 but otherwise nothing even remotely continental.

Sutton Coldfield, Llangollen, and Taccy all nice and strong here in North Hampshire.

This morning Luxembourg on 100.7 & 88.9 was received at almost full strength,
although I did not have time for a scan & had to leave. Now I have returned,
Germany has also made an appearance on 87.6 & 91.0. However, signals fading in &
out constantly at the moment including Luxembourg, although still thereabouts.
An improvement in conditions would most definitely be welcome.

Well the French and German stations are still in fairly strongly today but for the first time I used my portable Eton G8 instead of my Sony st sb920 connected to my dipole which I always use. There have been some interesting results when using the G8 with just the whip the most notable is that I cannot receive 538 on 102.7 which is constant even during flat conditions on my Sony, instead I've got a German station in strongly. If I move to a different part of my flat I get an English station. The only rational explanation I can give is that the German tropo is so strong that it's knocking out the Dutch.

Ok maybe it's not so strange . Rigged up my Sony and Germany is all over the band knocking out the Dutch and radio 2 on 88.88 from Belmont . Everything's in stereo . This is the best tropo I've received. There must be about 10 German stations in stereo right now.

Nice to hear Germany is strong in your location. Over here it is quite random, although its there. Looking good for tonight if it continues.

Crystal Palace freeview not working for me here normally its very good signal.
ACL777
15-11-2012
Yes if this continues to build I hope they will start to RDS. Maybe it will move further north to Denmark as well.

Heads up for all those scanning in the 98 MHz range, AFN in English on 98.7 from Großer Feldberg - Germany, just so you do not get it confused with BBC Radio 1.

FM is just silly here loads of German and Dutch.
Is really unstable to stations just keep fading in and out.

Wow Wow Wow!!! I can get France Inter 103.7 and France Info 105.2 both RDS on my Sangean PR-D5. Also can receive these on my Vertical FM3, Kiss is also full RDS with a rock solid signal as is BBC Lecister 104.9, BBC Norfolk 104.4 GEM 106 and Smooth 106.6!

The band is absolutely packed here. Haven't gone all the way up the band yet but plenty of signals from Germany, some at good strength.

It's one of those days I would like to have taken as holiday. I expect I missed quite a few things through the day.
