Strong, but last all of one minute.

Tropo slowly building at the moment. Currently hearing Western Victoria. If the Hepburn maps are accurate, it looks like it's going to be a bumper week for tropo - watch this space! Quietly rubbing my hands with glee, as tropo has been dead all season.

E-skip logs February 4th & 5th

More E-skip to report, it pays to keep an ear out....not used to hearing any skip by February. Good to see the DX season still going. More audio from these days at the end of the logs.

E-Skip log 31/1/16

Back to getting some E-skip yesterday, just when I thought the season might be over. Have included some recordings at the end of the post. For some reason though, only BFM Brisbane saved in full. The other two, were 3 to 4 minutes long but only partially saved.
