It's only just about reaching here with DLF Aurich swapping with Vivacité Tournai on 101.8. Hopefully it'll develop as it get's dark and cools down.

The Dutch are as strong as locals here!! This is the best Tropo I've experienced in years, beats October 2010!

100.3. I think this maybe Norway. I don't recognise the language and its rapidly fading now .

Now picking up in Lowestoft,Suffolk.
bbc radio lincs 94.9 fm
viking fm 96.9 fm
capital yorkshire 105.8 fm
all with rds.

Getting better here with several Germans from the NDR region at fair levels.

I've been receiving a Norwegian mux on dab in the car! DR nyheder and pop100 etc.
Is it normal to receive tropos on DAB too?
In Newcastle upon Tyne by the way. Not particularly high up either.

DR is Denmark (Danmarks Radio), Nyheder is news.

Nyheter is news in Swedish and Norwegian.

Band full of German, Danish, Dutch and Belgium stations here, very strong as well!

I'm currently listening to a dutch pirate on 108.0 FM playing typical accordion polka music you'd hear on 1600-1700 KHz.

What a brilliant day. This morning I got Radio 2 from the Netherlands which I thought was Radio 3, and tonight, in addition to getting that I've had Q Music on 100.1, 538 wiping out the Pulse, a German station from Saxony which played the Eurovision winner, and that station on 87.6 which had live music interupted for a sports bulletin at 9:45. The live music was excellent. There was also a radio station broadcasting what I presume was a play. It was like listening to Radio 4 in German.

I'm listening to the same station on 108.0 too. The song sounds a bit like the birdy song

That station is also strong here, must be a pirate?

Radio 4 Netherlands clasical on 94.8
Radio 1 Norway on 91.8
Radio 2 from holland on 88.0
Some other Dutch classical station on 107.1
In Newcastle.
All on a bedside radio!

I've just tried scanning the DAB radio, and up popped Nyheder, Nova FM, POP FM and Radio 100 (all Danish), also strangely Juice (Liverpool).

Wow with Dutch TV and German TV coming in too (I got the Dutch but sad to say not the German) this is the strongest opening that I've known for several years.

My London freeview is dead here though the subury one is working on the other TV for now.
Also some Germans on the band here to.

Sudbury is playing up now to.

Hi Jon,

I'm now receiving Danish (I think) DAB, in Lincoln.

Hi Jon,

When I checked what the DAB tuner had scanned, I found the following,

NYHEDER, NOVA FM, POP FM, RADIO 100 and THE VOICE DANMARKS HITSTATION.

Also, 90ELF, DKULTUR, DRADIO DOKDEB, DWISSEN, ENERGY, ERF PLUS, KLASSIK, LOUNGEFM,
RADIO BOBY and SUNSHINE LIVE all showing no signal.

I've never received and DX on DAB before.

Chris.

Not much here near Bristol apart from strong BBC national station from Peterborough and Tacolneston.

Of course I meant to type, I've never received any DX on DAB before.

2:15am BST - Denmark still going strong on DAB.

2 Metre Amateur band is full of Dutch amateurs using repeaters and via simplex operation.

73s de Chris 2E0NDT

Absolutely mad mad mad tropo from northern Germany and Denmark this morning e.g. the 200 watt NDR Info outlet on 88.9 from Lingen is 3 bars on the Denon tuner! I think we are getting a taste of what the Mediterranean gets every summer.

Nice bit of dab lift here in Staffordshire/Shropshire this morning Oxford very strong on 10B
HBB & northants coming in on 10D & 10C
And a nice brief glimpse of DR DAB2 on 8B
Not sure where that mux is from Germany maybe?
Something doing its best to make the BBC mux unusable too..

Congrats jaffboy, DR DAB2 is from Denmark!

I am getting Antenne Brandenburg on 106.6 here and even logged a German local, Radio Kiepenkerl on 107.4!

On my way to work between Bristol and West Wilts this morning all the Sutton Coldfield nationals and regionals were there at first along with lots of others, and then Radio 4 NL on 94.8 (Smilde) and 95.0 (Goes), as well as Q-Music on 100.7 with RDS.

Deutchland Funk coming in here this morning at almost full strength on my old portable radio at around 107.6Mhz. It's great on mono with the aerial horizontal, hisses a bit if I switch to stereo.

A weaker German pop station on about 88.5 too

Getting DAB from Holland right now, this is my first time ever of getting DX on DAB, conditions are insane!!!
