Got up and the TV in the other room was retuned to London freeview its not even pointing at London like my one is in the bedroom though the channels were off.
As Sudbury works best one side of the house and London the other.

A slight tropo here since yesterday evening. BBC Essex is up and often stable on 95.3 and the Tacolneston nationals are at good strength. BBC Norfolk is also making it in on 95.1.

Now WDR 4 on 100.5 weak but stable. Could be starting to hot up...

WDR 4 still in here as well as Classic 21 on 87.6 and Pure FM 101.1 (the latter has been in for a good while).

Getting some major lift here in Suffolk.

Among others, I'm getting something called 'On Top Radio' on 95.5.

Not sure if it's a pirate?

Yes it's one of those damn pirates clogging up the FM band here in London.

Yes that is a London pirate. It seems to get out well because I have heard it on the car radio near Basingstoke.

Conditions to the continent seem to have fizzled somewhat compared to earlier in the afternoon.

This morning I was greeted with Cheltenham Radio again on 87.7 181 km as it's an RSL the maximum power is 25 W so I am quite amazed at receiving this on 2 days.

Here is a recording of todays reception better than yesterday and I had to laugh at the the bloke reading the travel news though.

They have another meeting tomorrow so I will see if it comes in here again.

A very nice recording Andy and it shows that your elevated location is very good for DXing.

A handful of German signals came back at weak levels late last night here after dropping back around tea time yesterday e.g.

87.6 hr3 Biedenkopf
103.8 WDR 4 Nordhelle
106.7 WDR 1Live Langenberg

Also Liège on 90.5 with a weak signal for much of yesterday evening when I checked the channel.

There were some good conditions to SE England yesterday evening too with the following logged here: Metro Love Radio on 92.2 (a pirate), Uckfield FM on 105.0 and Resonance FM on 104.4.

Sadly the tropo seems to have left us here in central southern England this morning.

Biedenkopf in up to 1 bar in strength on the Denon on e.g. 87.6 and 104.3. This is unexpected as it was dead when I checked earlier.

Also a very weak MDR Figaro on 87.9 from Inselsberg as I type this.

Ha ! I don't think Jon Briggs has any fear of being replaced by him as the voice of 'Siri' !

Seems that the German tropo from earlier this afternoon has now gone. Still some short-range tropo towards London/Essex with Shine 879 (87.9) fading in & out and BBC Essex enhanced on both channels.

Nice reception Nick the band was flat here this morning and no Cheltenham Radio today.

Tropo always seems to throw something different every time roll on the next one.

I am receiving Radio SRF 3 Säntis 105.6 in good stereo at the moment.
I have been waiting for this since I started FM DX.

Stunning DX from NW England Andy! What's the distance to Säntis from there?

No sign of anything like this here although there is tropo to N France and SE England.

SRF 3 is in here now on 105.6 but it is painfully weak! Thank God for internet streams to check for a parallel

Fantastic DX Andy. The signal from SRF 3 on 105.6 is the most impressive. It looks like your tuner goes to stereo with very weak signals like my Denon does.

When I switched on this morning a little after 6.30 am there was a very weak signal from Grünten on 106.9 but when I went to check again about 20 minutes later it had gone. I don't know if I missed anything interesting overnight.

Just a few bits and pieces here last night - Lille and the UK nationals.

Brocken in on 101.4, only very weak so far...

I think I will check this properly in the morning as I was just about to go to bed.
