2020 April 26 DAB logs

Some really nice UK dx the past few days. Today was different. A few new stations 11A and 12A Crystal Palace, 11D Thanet/Westwood.

Also I had the first logging of 10C Almere. A new Dutch station that came to air this week. Fortunately for now it does not appear to trouble me with UK dx.

New Dutch station 10C Almere

2020 April 19 DAB logs and news

Well its been quite a 48 hours on the dx front. Firstly we learnt that here locally 8B became obsolete for dx.

8B Randstad Zuid Holland – Zoetermeer

This was my best channel for Denmark and several Germans. But anyhow its probably the start of many more blocked channels. And to be honest when you look at what 8B carries, its not filled with stations that many people would listen to.

Okay onto a bit of dx

2020 April 18 2020 DAB Logs

Some above average conditions overnight. Conditions I thought were dead at midnight when I went to bed and I decided to throw my antenna northward. Looking at the logs from the night I saw that the UK had indeed returned stronger. I received several stations off the back of the log periodic.

4 new stations for me. 8C was one of the new Dutch stations RegioNoordkop from the delightfully named Hippolytushoef. 6B Markelo has eluded me even though its only 147km away. 5C DR Deutschland Osnabruck & 11D D1 National, Gainsborough in Northamptonshire were the others

Furthest is in red 459km Stoke-on-Trent.

2019 April 16 – DAB Logs

The past few days have seen some nice DAB DX from the U.K. It has been fairly localised as you can see by this map. Mostly around the Norfolk Coast but it did drift down to the center of London during the night. The previous night it was good to see Trial Norwich on 9A

3 first timers although not too far away. Usually I get Ipswich/Mendlesham but last night Ipswich/Warren Heath made it for the first time.  Signals during the night made it from the Norfolk coast into the centre of London. Also Wrotham.
