At last a tropo opening but most of it was weak but for an odd few but UK stuff being up didn't help matters.

Andy,

Excellent log! I had a very good DX that day. The most distant stations seem to be 88.2 France Culture from Ussel-Meymac 10.00kW 711km, but what matters is intense of the opening and the widespread. I've logged loads of new stations from France. This was, by far, the biggest tropo opening to France this year. I haven't got yet trough 15 and 16th of October logs, but 14th stands out with its intensity. The later days brigs longer distances though. I DX indoors and upon until 14th October, the most distant station I received was 612 km. On Saturday I received 4 stations that beat my record and loads of others that I haven't heard!

Zach, 73

Thanks Zach you do very well using indoor aerials I hope we don't have to wait long for the next opening.
