Thread: Atmospherics (merged)

Started 2 years, 1 month ago by Nick_G
The drop in temperature overnight combined with the high humidity this morning caused some short-range tropo here. London stations were enhanced nicely, as was Wrotham and the BBC Essex frequencies. Because the Reading (Fountain House) tx is on reduced power it was allowing Resonance FM to come in on 104.4 in the clear. Hopefully some decent ...

Well the Hepburn maps are showing tropo for the end of the week - the first tropo since the end of October. Pity it seems to retreat to the SW after a day or so.

Had a bit of a play around with the 4 element triax last night- it's not permanently mounted anywhere, so I was able to rotate it a bit by hand.... RDS levels from Rowridge (including Radio Solent) RDS from Sutton Coldfield and Tacolneston Stereo Heart 96.3 from Bristol (or was it Heart 96.3 from Essex- shows were networked so there was no way of finding out) Stereo Heart 96.6 from Northampton Mono BBC Kent 96.7 RDS BBC Cymru (Wenvoe)...

Looks like the MUF went above 144 MHz this evening with two metre contacts between England and Wales and the Azores and Portugal.

Been getting tropo from Lille and Egem on and off since Sunday, but it's 'off' at the moment and it's been nowhere near as good as the maps predicted. At least not yet...

Not sure what it is but I think it's from the continent.

i don't know if this was a lift but on a friends bog standard radio today i was getting Kiss 101.0 from bromsgrove. The radio was truly basic having serious issues with Birmingham stations such as Kerrang and Smooth. again i don't know if it was a lift or my location but it was certainly a surprise

I'm currently getting a decent mono signal from BBC York on 103.7. Quite pleased about that, but a bit disappointed that none of the other Yorks/Humberside stations are coming in just now. Also getting decent mono signals from BBC Devon on 103.4, Capital 95.8 and Smooth East Mids on 106.6, but that's not too unusual for me in lift conditions.
